Exporting Location Note Headers

You can export each Location Note Header and their field values using the Export option available in Admin. When exporting location notes from this page, information for both open and closed locations will be included.

Exporting location notes is useful to help you find any information that might be missing from related locations. For example, you can review the exported data to identify any missing names and contact information. In the screenshot below, missing names and email addresses are easily identified after exporting the location notes.
