Exporting Data
Export lets you download your tasks, issues, and other data as a spreadsheet or CSV file. Use exports for offline analysis, sharing with stakeholders who do not have access to Varai Sprints, or archiving data.
What you can export
| Data | Formats available |
|---|---|
| Tasks (from a sprint or full workspace) | CSV, Excel (.xlsx) |
| Issues (from a sprint or full workspace) | CSV, Excel (.xlsx) |
| Audit logs | CSV |
| Time logs | CSV, Excel (.xlsx) |

Exporting time logs
- In the left sidebar, click Reports.
- Select Time Report.
- Set the date range and any filters (workspace, sprint, assignee).
- Click Export → choose CSV or Excel.
The time log export includes: item title, assignee, log date, duration (hours), and notes.
Exporting audit logs
- In the left sidebar, click Audit Logs.

See Audit Logs overview for more.
Large exports
Exports with more than 5,000 rows are processed in the background. When ready:
- You receive an in-app notification: "Your export is ready."
- Click the notification or go to Settings → Exports to download the file.
- Export files are available for 7 days before they expire.
Filtering before export
For large workspaces, always apply filters before exporting to keep file sizes manageable. Exporting "all tasks ever" is rarely what you need — filter to a sprint, date range, or assignee first.
Data format notes
