Exporting asset data is easy 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.
When you click Export in the bottom-right corner, you will see the following 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 visible columns and rows
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 Column customizer button and toggle columns on or off before exporting.
Limitations
The default export option is not suitable for very large datasets (for example, more than 100,000 assets)
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.
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 |

💡 Tip: Choosing the right export:
Choose "Export (default)" when:
You just need the current list view (filters and visible columns)
You are doing operational follow-up or ad-hoc analysis
Choose "Legacy export" when:
You need a full dataset beyond the visible columns
You are exporting large fleets (incl. >100k assets)
Your systems depend on a consistent export format
You require UTC-based timestamps (choose "Legacy export using UTC")
