Export Device Data
The IoT.live Portal allows administrators to export device, operational, and usage data for reporting, troubleshooting, and external analysis.
Exports can be generated from multiple areas of the platform, including:
- Inventory Management
- Batch Operations
- Audit Trail
- Billing & Invoices
- Search results

Export large datasets
Large exports may:
- Take additional time to generate
- Process asynchronously
- Depend on provider synchronisation
- Be limited by account permissions
[IMAGE PLACEHOLDER: Large export processing]
Very large exports may be split or generated asynchronously depending on platform configuration.

Depending on permissions and module selection, exports may include:
- Device identifiers
- Provider information
- Usage statistics
- Rate plans
- Tags and attributes
- Operational status
- Billing information
- Audit activity

Secure handling of exported data
Exported files may contain sensitive operational or commercial information.
When handling exported data:
- Store files securely
- Restrict access appropriately
- Follow internal data governance policies
- Avoid sharing sensitive identifiers externally
Exported data remains subject to your organisation’s security and compliance requirements.
Troubleshooting export issues
If exports do not complete successfully:
- Reduce the dataset size
- Narrow the date range
- Apply additional filters
- Verify account permissions
- Check provider synchronisation status
