Exporting Data

Supersimple lets you export your data and visualizations for use in presentations, reports, or external tools. You can export a single block on its own, or a whole exploration at once.

Block exports

Individual blocks are exported from the three-dot menu in the block's corner.

As an image

You can export any block as a PNG image to use in presentations, documents, or share with colleagues.

  1. Open the three-dot menu on any block
  2. Select Export as image
  3. Choose how to save:
    • Copy to clipboard — paste directly into documents, Slack, email, etc.
    • Download — saves a PNG file to your computer
Exporting block as an image

The exported image reflects the exact dimensions of the block, as currently visible in your browser.

As CSV

Data tables can be exported as CSV files for use in spreadsheets or other tools.

  1. Open the three-dot menu on any block
  2. Select Download CSV

The CSV file will download automatically with a timestamped filename. Note that the CSV's content will match the content of that block's table, not necessarily the currently-visible chart.

What's included

  • All visible columns in the table (hidden columns are excluded)
  • Column headers use the display names from your data model

Data formatting

  • Arrays and nested objects are converted to JSON strings
  • Empty values appear as blank cells
  • The CSV uses standard comma-separated formatting compatible with Excel, Google Sheets, and other tools

Exploration exports

Instead of exporting one block at a time, you can export the entire exploration at once — either downloaded immediately, or emailed on a recurring schedule. Every expanded block is captured as a separate PNG image, so collapse anything you don't want included.

Both start from the export icon in the exploration's toolbar.

The exploration needs to be saved first. If you're looking at a conversation result or an unsaved exploration, save it and the export icon appears.

Downloading a ZIP

  1. Click the export icon
  2. Keep Download now selected
  3. Click Download ZIP
The Export exploration dialog with Download now selected, showing Appearance and Capture width options above a Download ZIP button
Exporting a whole exploration

The ZIP contains one PNG per block, numbered in the order they appear. Rendering happens on our servers and takes a few seconds to a minute depending on the size of the exploration, so the dialog stays open until the download starts.

Appearance switches the images between light and dark mode. Capture width controls how wide the exploration is laid out before it's captured, in pixels — blocks keep their relative layout, so blocks that sit side by side share that width.

Scheduled exports

The same images can be emailed on a recurring basis, embedded directly in the message so recipients see the charts without opening anything.

  1. Click the export icon and choose Schedule
  2. Set the frequency, time and recipients
  3. Click Save schedule
The Export exploration dialog with Schedule selected, showing frequency, weekday, time and recipient fields above a Save schedule button
Emailing an exploration every week
  • Frequency — every day, every week (pick which weekdays) or every month (pick a day). Schedules can run at most once an hour.
  • Day of month — days 29–31 are missing from some months, so the latest day you can pick is 28.
  • Time — in your account's timezone, shown next to the field.
  • Recipients — up to 20 email addresses.

Use Send preview next to the recipients sends a test export to the set recipients right away, before saving.

Managing schedules

An exploration's schedules are listed and can be managed in its right sidebar under Scheduled exports. Every schedule in the account is also listed under Settings → Alerts.

Creating and editing schedules requires the Manage Scheduled Exports permission, held by Admins and Editors by default. Anyone can download an export.
