# Export Templates

## 📤 What are export templates ?

If you need to generate frequently data exports using custom export properties you may create an export template with your pre-set properties that you can reuse. 

This export template will work the exactly same way as all the out the box [data exports](/form-management/data-export.md) formats except that it will use the properties that you have setup for it. 

As such you don't have to re-configure your exports each time you need to export new data.

## ➕ Creating a template

To create a template you may click on the **New template** button.

{% hint style="info" %}
You can include following tag in the template name to include dynamically the actual date on which the export has been generated. {{genDate}}
{% endhint %}
