It is highly recommended that you process the export when the Export prompt is displayed for a process. Be sure to create folders for each export so that if you need to import from a particular step, you can easily locate which file to use. If you perform an export on the same process multiple times, it is recommended that you move the previous exports to separate folders so they are not replaced by the new export in case you need to import from a particular step.
This checklist assumes you are familiar with the basic features of the ASCENDER Business system and have reviewed the ASCENDER Business Overview guide.
