Exporting CSV Data

Export sign data as CSV for use in spreadsheets and other tools.

2 min readUpdated February 26, 2026organiser

Exporting your sign data as CSV gives you a spreadsheet you can open in Excel, Google Sheets, or any other tool. Use it for custom reporting, sharing data with external teams, or as a backup of your sign records.

Exporting sign data

  1. Open your event and click the Export tab.
  2. Click CSV Export.
  3. Signplanr generates a CSV file containing all signs in the event.
  4. Click Download to save the file.

What is included

The CSV contains one row per sign with the following columns:

  • Sign number (with prefix if set)
  • Sign type
  • Status
  • Quantity
  • Instructions
  • Map name (if placed on a map)
  • Assigned contractors
  • Custom field values (one column per custom field defined on the sign type)
  • Created date and last updated date

Photos and artwork files are not included in the CSV. The export covers sign metadata and field values only.

Opening in spreadsheets

  • Excel — double-click the downloaded .csv file, or open Excel and use File > Open.
  • Google Sheets — go to Google Sheets, click File > Import, select Upload, and choose the CSV file.

The data opens as a formatted table. You can sort, filter, and create charts from here.

Round-tripping with CSV import

If you export a CSV, modify it, and want to bring the changes back into Signplanr, use the Bulk CSV Import feature. The column names in the export match the expected import format, so the mapping step is straightforward.
