Summary: This guide walks you through the steps to effortlessly export your People data into customizable Excel files (CSV), detailing how to pull filtered lists, customize which profile fields are included, save those settings as a reusable preset, and troubleshoot common download issues.
Before You Begin
- The export function downloads your data into Microsoft Excel files (CSV).
- Note: Event information and contribution data are not included in this People export. You must export those separately.
- Tithely Tip: Check your browser's pop-up blocker settings before exporting to ensure the download is not blocked.

Troubleshooting & FAQs
- What happens when I select "Grouping by Family"? It will pull in all family members of those who match the initial search results. Individuals who did not match the initial filters will be brought in because they are related to someone who did.
- Why did my download not start? Check your browser's pop-up blocker settings and disable them for the Tithely site. Pop-up blockers often prevent the export file from downloading.
- Can other admins use the custom export I saved? No, saved customizations are available only to the user who saved them and cannot be seen by other users from the same church.
