# Summary Export

The Summary Export provides a high-level compilation of data across most PEARS modules. It is downloaded from the User Dashboard and contains one worksheet per module.

## Export Contents

The exported file contains the following sections:

### Codebook

The first worksheet documents the export metadata, including the date the export was run, the user who ran it, the filters that were applied, and descriptions of each worksheet and its fields.

### Module Worksheets

One worksheet is included for each applicable module:

* Action Plans (Extension organizations only)
* Direct Contacts
* Program Activities
* PSE Site Activities
* Social Marketing Campaigns
* Indirect Activities
* Partnerships
* Coalitions
* Success Stories
* Quarterly Efforts (Extension organizations only)
* Action Plan Reports (Extension organizations only)

### Common Fields

Most worksheets include the following fields: Record ID, Record Name/Title, Record Status, Unit, Collaborators, Contributors, number of attachments, comments, and links to the records in PEARS.

Module worksheets also include **Action Plan ID** and **Action Plan** (name) columns where applicable. For modules that support multiple action plans, the action plan IDs and names are concatenated. Direct Contact action plan columns only appear if the organization has the action plans for direct contacts setting enabled.
