Quick Exports from AG Grid

What Quick Export Is

Quick Export creates a full server-side export from a data table. Unlike a client-side CSV dump, Quick Export runs the same background processing pipeline as a standard export, inheriting the grid's current filters, sort order, and visible columns.

How It Works

When the user clicks the export action on a data table:

1. The system creates an export with:
   • Name: "Quick {data type} Export By {user name}"
   • Notification email: the current user's email
   • Columns: the currently visible (non-hidden) columns from the grid tab.
   • Filters and sort order inherited from the grid tab's current state.
2. The export processes in the background like any other export.
3. The user is redirected back to the originating page with a flash message. Superusers see a link to view/edit the export.

Permissions

Quick Export is exempt from the standard data exports permission check. It checks whether the current
user has the export permission enabled for the specific record type being exported.
