Customers export

Let's have a look at our customers dataset one more time. We will identify the properties that will be included in our export. Note that all active filters and the map selection are counted in the exports.

The requirement is to export customers, who have made a transaction bigger than 3000 CZK, to give them a special voucher.

The properties we want to include are: customer_id, addresssex and age_group.

The export object will look like this:

{
    "name": "customers_export",
    "type": "export",
    "title": "Customers export",
    "content": {
        "properties": [
            "customers.customer_id",
            "customers.address",
            "customers.sex",
            "customers.age_group"
        ]
    }
}

Add this export object to the project using addMetadata. Now we just need to add the export reference to the business_overview_view object.

                    "lng": 16.606
                },
                "zoom": 12,
                "tileLayer": "mapbox"
            },
            "exports": [
                {
                    "export": "/rest/projects/$projectId/md/exports?name=customers_export"
                }
            ]
        },
        "accessInfo": {
      ...

Before we perform the export, we have to apply the required filter first.

...

Also, don't forget that the map window should contain all available areas.

The export is available after clicking the Menu button in the top left corner (Image Removed), and selecting Export.

...

Select Customers export and hit Export.

The selected columns, as well as metric results will be present in the customers_export.csv file.

We won't put any filters on this export and we'll export these properties: store_id, address, store_type, contact.

It is possible to include properties from other datasets in an export. We will include some properties from datasets of the Administrative units dimension we've added in one of the previous tutorials.

  • cast_obec_dwh.nazev - the city district where the store is located

  • okres_dwh.nazev - name of the county

  • kraj_dwh.nazev - name of the region

Stores export syntax
Code Block
{
    "name": "stores_export",
    "type": "export",
    "title": "Stores export",
    "content": {
        "properties": [
            "stores.store_id",
            "stores.address",
            "stores.store_type",
            "stores.contact",
            "cast_obec_dwh.nazev",
            "okres_dwh.nazev",
            "kraj_dwh.nazev"
        ]
    }
}

Add the object using addMetadata and add the export reference to the business_overview_view object.

                    "lng": 16.606
                },
                "zoom": 12,
                "tileLayer": "mapbox"
            },
            "exports": [
                {
                    "export": "/rest/projects/$projectId/md/exports?name=customers_export"
                },
                {
                    "export": "/rest/projects/$projectId/md/exports?name=stores_export"
                }
            ]
        },
        "accessInfo": {
      ...

Push the object using pushProject. Then repeat the export process, but select Stores export and hit Export.

You can see that the stores_export.csv contains all six stores, with respective results of all metrics in all city districts.
