Export to CSV

Export to CSV produces the event's registration list as a file. It is the door list, the mailing list and the record of what happened.

Where

The Event assistants panel, below the table: Export to CSV.

What the file contains

One row per registration, across all three sections, with these columns:

Read Status as the section the person is in: an empty status is a confirmed registration.

The separator

The exported file uses semicolons between values rather than commas. That is deliberate: attendee comments regularly contain commas, and a comma-separated file would break on them.

If your spreadsheet opens the file as one long column, tell it the separator is a semicolon. In most spreadsheet applications this is an option in the import dialog, or a Text to Columns action afterwards.

When to export

The day before the event — the door list. Export after resolving the waiting list, not before.

After the event — the record. Registrations can still be edited afterwards, so the post-event export is the definitive one.

Before any bulk change — a safety copy. Deleting a cancelled registration is permanent, and this file is the only way back.

Working with the file

1. Open it in a spreadsheet, telling it the separator is a semicolon.
2. Sort by name for a door list; sort by status to work through the waiting list.
3. Add your own Attended column; the plugin records registrations, not attendance.
4. Filter the comments column to find the notes that need action.

What is not in the file

• The date and time each person registered.
• Any history of status changes.
• Whether the person attended.
• Anything about the event itself — export from the right event, and name the file accordingly.

Name and store it properly

The generated file does not identify its event in a way that will still make sense in six months. Rename it immediately:

open-day-2026-03-14-attendees.csv

Then store it where your team keeps event records — not in a downloads folder, and not in a shared chat.

It is personal data

The file contains names, email addresses, telephone numbers and free-text comments that often include health or dietary information.

• Keep it only as long as you need it.
• Do not attach it to support requests.
• Do not share it beyond the people running the event.
• Delete it when the event's retention period ends.

See Attendee data and privacy.

Verify

1. Export and open the file with the semicolon separator.
2. Confirm every registration appears, from all three sections.
3. Confirm the status column distinguishes them.
4. Confirm comments containing commas are intact in one cell.
5. Rename the file with the event and the date.
