This guide covers how to export your entity information from the Knowledge Graph into a CSV or Excel file.

To learn how to automatically deliver an entity export on a regular basis, see Set Up Automated Delivery on a Saved Entity Export. To edit an entity export configuration that you have already created, see Edit a Saved Entity Export Configuration.

 

Select Entities to Export

1. Navigate to Knowledge Graph > Entities.
2. Select the entities you would like to export.
   • Use the checkboxes on the left side of the screen to select multiple entities, or to select all entities in the current view.
   • You can also apply a saved filter and select all entities in the filter. To create a saved filter, see Create a Saved Filter.
   • If you do not select any entities here, all entities in the Knowledge Graph will be included.
3. Click on the More Actions button at the top of the Entities screen and select Export Entities.
   
   

Basic Info

On the Basic Info step of the Export Entities flow, review the Data and File format of your export. Click the Edit button next to any of the sections to make changes.

1. Entities to Export: this will confirm the number of entities in each type that you have chosen to export.
   • You can uncheck entity types to remove all entities of that type from your export.
   • To add entity types, or make any other changes to specific entities included in the export, go back to the Knowledge Graph and re-select your entities.
2. Entity Language: by default, entity data will be exported in the primary language profile. If desired, select alternate language profiles to include in your export.
   • Adding alternate language profiles will export data for all selected entities that have a profile in the selected language.
3. Header Language: choose the language for the column headers in your exported spreadsheet.
4. Export Data as of: export data for your selected entities as of today, export past data, or export data updates scheduled for a future date.
   • Today
   • Past Date: choose a date up to 30 days in the past
   • Future Date: export data will reflect updates scheduled up to your chosen date
   • All Scheduled Updates: export data will reflect all future scheduled updates
5. Embedded Fields: choose how you want any embedded field data to display in your export.
   • Export Field Values: export will contain the value of the embedded field (e.g., "Try the Out-of-This-World Deluxe Burger in New York City!")
   • Export Embedded Field Label: export will contain the label of the embedded field (e.g., "Try the [restaurantPromotion] in [city]!"
6. Export File Format: choose CSV or Excel (.xslx)
7. Export Layout: this is set to Horizontal by default (to display one entity per row in the spreadsheet). In most cases, you will not need to change this.
   • If desired, select Vertical to display one entity per column.
8. Character Set: this is set to Unicode by default. In most cases, you will not need to change this.
   • If desired, select ASCII.

When finished, click Continue.

 

Export Scheme

Select the fields you want to include in your export from the panel on the left.

Any selected fields will appear in the table to the right. Click the Actions dropdown on any field to re-order the field in the table, remove it, or configure how it should be formatted. For more information on configuring specific fields, see Edit a Saved Entity Export Configuration.

To generate an export in a specific publisher format (for example, if you want to upload a set of entities as locations to Google Business Profile), click the dropdown next to Export Scheme and choose your desired format:

• Google Business Profile
• Yelp
• Snapchat
• Bing Places
• Entity Upload (Yext)

When you're finished, click Continue. Your export will download automatically.

 

Save your export

If you want to re-use this export configuration, or if you want to set up automated delivery, enter a name for your export and click Save Export. Otherwise, click Done.

To see all your saved export configurations, navigate to Knowledge Graph > Configuration. Scroll to the Entity Management section and click the Saved Entity Exports tile.
