How to export Handover data

This article covers how to export data from Dalux Handover.

User rights

To export data, you must be a member of the Project administrator or Handover administrator user groups.

Dalux Handover and Dalux FM can be connected so data is transferred directly between the two. This process is not covered in this article. Contact your local CSM and they will guide you through it.

Export Handover data for operations

If you want to export data to hand over to the facility manager, you can create an overview with searchable content and a package that is easy to browse through.

This overview can be exported as an Excel sheet, which allows the facility manager to search for assets.

The content is organized as a simple folder structure with asset information as files.

COBie

An alternative to the Excel sheet is the COBie format, which can be exported from Settings.
