Create a Data Export Definition

Create a data export definition in the Exports utility for exporting Vantagepoint data to a file.

Prerequisite: If you want to assign email and/or FTP targets to a data export definition, you must first set up those targets on the Target tab of the Data Export Definitions form. For more information, see Set Up Email or FTP Targets for Data Export Definitions. You can also assign an email or FTP target after you create and save a data export definition.
