Exporting Data

Overview

Your club's data belongs to your club. Whether you're preparing a year-end report for the board, backing up records before a busy season, pulling a member roster into a mail-merge, or simply reassuring yourself that you could leave Centerline tomorrow if you ever needed to, being able to get your data out in a standard format matters. Centerline's data export puts that in your hands: a few clicks produce plain CSV files you can open in any spreadsheet program.

Export is the natural counterpart to Importing Data — the same record types that come in through the importer can go back out through the exporter. It's available to the Account Owner and always scoped to your own organization.

Required Role

You must have the Account Owner role to export data. Exports always cover only your current organization's records.

Accessing Export

Click Setup in the navigation bar, then select the Data & Features tab. The Export Data card lets you download your organization's data as CSV files.

What Can Be Exported

Each record type exports to its own CSV file with every column included:

Users

Your full member roster — names, contact details, addresses, emergency contacts, membership numbers, join dates, roles, and certificate expiration dates. Useful for board reports, insurance rosters, and mail merges.

Reservations

Reservation history including the member, aircraft, start and end times, destination, comments, and instructor. Useful for utilization reporting and reconstructing who flew what and when.

Squawks

Reported maintenance issues including the aircraft, the reporting member, occurrence date, description, grounding status, maintenance comments, and open/closed status. Useful for handing a maintenance history to a mechanic or shop.

Maintenance Schedules

Recurring and due-date maintenance items with their intervals, last-completed dates, and tach readings.

Relations are rendered in human-readable form — you'll see a member's name and an aircraft's tail number rather than internal ID numbers — so the files are ready to read and share without any lookup.

Tips

• Export on a schedule. A monthly or quarterly export gives you an off-platform backup and a point-in-time snapshot you can diff later if a question ever comes up.
• The files are import-compatible. Because export mirrors the importer's record types, an exported CSV is a reasonable starting point if you ever need to bulk-edit records in a spreadsheet and bring them back in.
• Mind member privacy. The Users export contains personal contact information and emergency contacts. Store the file securely and share it only with people who need it.
• Export before big changes. Decommissioning aircraft, removing members, or doing a large cleanup? Take an export first so you always have the prior state on hand.
