Exporting subscribers’ data
The subscribers’ data may also be routinely used away from BACKCLICK. To export the subscribers’ data, choose “Subscriber Management (Main Menu) -> export subscriber” (submenu), and all of the existing data may be exported.
Abb. 7.5.1 - Abonnentenexport
Name of the list of exports
Enter a name for the file you want to create here. There is no need to define the file ending as “.csv,” “.txt,” etc..
Check boxes
Here you may decide which data you want to export. The subscription/ checkout data, data on mailing lists, or the checkout data only may be selected by marking the correct check box. You may also choose the subscription data as well as the checkout data of every subscriber. This is only possible after you have chosen “Subscription/ checkout data” and “checkout data”. The export file will then contain two more columns:
- SUBSCRIBED-x
- UNSUBSCRIBED-x
The “x” is a placeholder that stands for the consecutively numbered mailing list IDs. It is also possible to export only special data from the chosen lists. For example: There are subscribers in your system who are subscribed on mailing list 1 and 2, but you only want to export the information of mailing list 1. If this function is not activated, the data of mailing list 2 will also be exported because of these subscribers. The export file will then include a unix-timestamp-value.
Subscription/checkout data
If the data you want to export is about the subscription or checkout information of subscribers, you may choose time range for their subscription/checkout either manually or by using the calendars 
.
Mailing lists
As shown in the figure, you may now choose one, more than one, or all of the mailing lists, if you have a right to them for exporting the subscribers’ data (multiple select field).
After you have completed all the entries, click on the "create"-button. This will open the following view in a separate
window:
As shown in the figure, the progress of the export will be shown during creation of the export file. Please click on the "close"-button for the first time AFTER the file has been created. The file, ready for exporting, will then be listed.

This file will remain ready for exporting as long as it is saved in the system database.
As explained later on in this manual, there may be other files, in addition to the export files, that contain the results of the profile filter lists (target group list). These also may be saved on your local system. To export one of those files, click on the "Export"-symbol right behind the name of the file. This will open the following view:
Abb. 7.5.3 - Abonnentenexport
A file download dialogue will be initiated. This will ask you to either open or save the file in your local system. To save the file, mark the check box that says “Save File,” and the file will automatically receive the ending “.txt”. If you would like the function to be processed whenever the file dialogue is opened, mark the check box that says, “For files of this type, always process this action.” Whenever a text file like this is exported, this action will be processed.
The file will be opened in an editor (default value). The content of the Export-Test.txt file (our example here) will then look like this:
All the fields are separated by tabs, which allows you to use this file again for import into BACKCLICK .
To erase one of the export files, you must mark the check box right behind the name of the export file and click on the "Yes"-button. This will open another window displaying a safety question, which you will need to confirm by clicking on “yes” if you really want to erase the file. After this, the file will be removed from the list. PLEASE NOTE: Only the export file (the result of the export) will be removed, but not the subscribers. If you decide not to erase the file from your list when you see the window with the safety question, click on "No". This will return you to the submenu “export subscribers”.
