# 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](https://docs.ngsurvey.com/form-management/data-export) 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
