How to export my organization data in Cliq?

To export data like messages, files, users and others from your Cliq organization, follow the below steps:

  1. Navigate to the Admin Panel .
  2. Under the Data Administration module click on Export .

  • Click on NEW EXPORT and select the resources that you'd like to export.

  • Choose the export file format

  • Select one of the three options for the file format you want to download: JSON, XML, or PDF.​

  • Choose how you want to secure the file. You have 3 options:

    • No security - The admin can open the file without a password.
    • Password protection - The admin has to set a password which will be required to access the file.
    • Password encryption - Provides an additional layer of security by encrypting the file. Only authorized users with the encrypted key can decrypt and access the file.

  • Click on EXPORT DATA .


    Confirm your export settings and click on the Start Exporting button.

  • Once the export is complete it will be available for download in the Export home page.

  • Click on the Download button.

  • This will download a zipped version of the export file in your local folder.

  • To delete the exported data, click on the bin icon next to the Download button. Once deleted, the exported data cannot be retrieved.

Notes
Note:

  1. Only the recent 7 days data can be exported using the free version of Cliq.

What happens after exporting?

 After you complete the export, you'd be given the export details in the  Export  window.
