Download directory for Analytics by Galvanize / CSV

The export to Analytics by Galvanize / CSV takes place in a download directory. This directory must be accessible via a UNC path and the user running the dab:Exporter Windows service must have read and write permissions in the folder.

Create an download directory with Windows Explorer

If exporting to a network directory (NAS) outside the local machine, the user of the dab:Exporter service must be changed to a domain user.

To provide a folder in the network you have to do the following steps:

Navigate to the folder where you want the data to be saved and right click on the folder.

Choose properties in the menu

Choose the tab Sharing and click on Share.

Type in the username of the windows service (standard: network service) and all user or user groups who should have access to the directory.

Change the permission to Read/Write. When this is done, you can click on Share.

Network service: This is the user under which the dab:Exporter service runs and thus uses its permissions.

Now you can see the UNC-Path of the folder. You should inform the administrator of the dab:Exporter about the UNC-Path, so that this folder can be added to the dab:Exporter. The window can be closed by clicking on Done.
