Exporting asset can be done from the Assets page. Select the export type that matches your needs - either a quick view export or a full legacy export for complete or large datasets.
Export types
You can export asset data directly from the Assets page in Trackunit Manager.
Click the arrow next to Export in the bottom-right corner to see the export options
Legacy export using Manager settings
Legacy export using UTC
Export (default)
Note: After selecting the export type, you have to wait for the export to complete before the file can be downloaded and saved.
Export (default): Quick export of your current view
Use the default export when you want a fast download of the data currently visible in your Asset list.
What it includes
Only the columns you have selected
Custom fields that are visible in your list
Any filters you applied
You can continue working in Manager while the file is generated.
💡 Tip: To customize your export, click the Customize columns button and toggle columns on or off before exporting.
Limitations
The default export is limited to 10,000 assets. If your filtered list exceeds this number, only the first 10,000 assets will be exported. Use a Legacy export for larger datasets.
The file is not stored on the server for long, so download it when it is ready
Legacy export: Full, high-capacity exports
Use the Legacy export for complete datasets or very large Asset lists.
Legacy export using Manager settings
Exports all assets and all available columns (whether they are toggled on or not)
Uses the timezone set in your Manager settings (Learn how to set your Manager timezone here)
Handles large datasets without slowing down or crashing the browser
Legacy export using UTC
Exports all assets and columns, but timestamps are converted to UTC
Ideal if your BI tools or integrations use UTC
Note: The Legacy export option will remain available until "Default export" supports the same level of robustness and flexibility.
Note: Legacy exports always include a fixed set of columns*, regardless of what you have filtered for in your Asset list. To export only specific columns, use the default export instead.
*Fixed columns: Attention, Name, Asset Type, Brand, Model, Year, Type, Telematics Device S.No, Serial Number (VIN), Metadata Score, External Reference, Activity, Total Hours, Street Address, City, Country, ZIP Code, Owner, Sites, Customers, Groups, Owning Depot, Owning Depot site id, Last Seen (+00:00 GMT), AssetId
How timezones affect exports
Different export types apply timezones differently.
Export type | Timezone in export file |
Export (default) |
|
Legacy export using Manager settings |
|
Legacy export using UTC |
|
Choosing the right export type:
Export type: | Export (default) | Legacy export |
Asset limit: | 10,000 assets | No limit |
Columns included: | Selected columns added through filtering | Fixed columns |
Ideal for: | When you just need the current list view or you are doing operational follow-up or ad-hoc analysis | When you need a full dataset beyond the visible columns, and you are exporting large fleets (incl. >100k assets)
When your systems depend on a consistent export format, or you require UTC-based timestamps (choose "Legacy export using UTC") |
