## Introduction

The information on dashboards can be exported to use for reporting.

## Exporting a chart as PNG

The **Export as.png** option is available in dashboard charts and process graphs. Follow these steps to export a chart.

1. Go to the chart, or process graph, you want to export.
2. Select **Export -> Export as .png** from the menu.

The chart or process graph is downloaded and saved as a `.PNG` file to your computer. The exported `.PNG` file contains an image of the chart or process graph as displayed.

## Exporting a chart as CSV

The **Export as.csv** option is available in dashboard charts. The.CSV (comma-separated values) format makes data easy to manipulate or import into third-party visualization tools, databases, or spreadsheet programs like Microsoft Excel for review or further analysis.

**Export as.csv** allows you to export up to 1 Million rows.
:::note
**Export to .csv** is not available for process graphs and distribution charts.
:::
Follow these steps to export a chart to .CSV.

1. Go to the chart you want to export.
2. Select **Export -> Export as .csv** from the menu. A notification message is displayed to indicate that the export has started.
3. When the export is ready, you will get a notification message with a link to the exported file. Select the Notifications icon in the upper-right corner of the dashboard to open the **Notifications** panel.
4. Select the message that indicates that your chart data export download is ready.

   ![Export ready notification message](https://dev-assets.cms.uipath.com/assets/images/process-mining/process-mining-export-ready-notification-message-484921-08a90723-d05ca336.webp)

The exported.CSV file is downloaded to your computer. It contains all the data rows used in the chart.

### Notifications

To receive a notification message with the download link in the **Notifications** panel, in-app notifications must be enabled for **Process Mining**. Usually this is taken care of during tenant creation.

:::note
If you do not receive a notification message for the download or the **Notifications** panel is not available, in-app notifications must me be enabled for **Process Mining**. In this case, it can take up to two hours for the Notifications panel to become available.
:::

You can manage your notifications using the **My Notification** view on the **Notifications** settings page. You access the **Notifications** settings page through the **Notification settings**![](https://dev-assets.cms.uipath.com/assets/images/process-mining/process-mining-edit-settings-icon-130063-bdec492c-a638fb8d.webp) icon on the **Notifications** panel or the **Preferences** menu option from your user account menu.

## Exporting a process graph as BPMN

### Introduction

You can export a process graph as a **B**usiness **P**rocess **M**odel **N**otation (BPMN) 2.0 file. **Export as BPMN 2.0 diagram** generates a BPMN model based on the filtered dataset that you can download to your computer.

:::note
The exported BPMN model is a structured BPMN model and may differ from the process graph displayed on your dashboard.
:::

You can utilize the downloaded BPMN model in model-based apps using the Import BPMN model option in **Process manager**. Additionally, you have the option to import the file into a BPMN modeler, for example BPMN.iO or in the Maestro modeling canvas.

Check out [Process models](https://docs.uipath.com/process-mining/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/process-manager#process-models "Select the menu in the header bar of the dashboard editor and select Process models from the drop-down menu. The Process models page is displayed, showing the preview of the Discover process model or Import BPMN model.") for more information on importing BPMN models.

### Export the process graph and download the BPMN model

Follow these steps to export a process graph as a BPMN 2.0 model.

1. Go to the process graph you want to export as BPMN.
2. If desired, add filters to select a subset of the data.
3. Select **Export -> Export as BPMN 2.0 diagram**. The process graph is exported and a notification message is diplayed.
4. Select **Download** in the notification message to save the export as a `.bpmn` file to your computer.
   :::note
   If you export a process graph with applied filters, the file is saved as `filtered-process-model.bpmn`.
   :::

### Exporting variants as reference models

You can create filters and then export the process graph with the applied filters. This allows you, for example, to select one or more variants of the process that you can use as reference model for conformance checking in another process app.
