Hi

I want to understand on how many rows can a user export from the reporting module in service now

Is there any limitation on the number of times one can export this data?

is there any limitation of the frequency of exports?

Hi Meher,

What is your end-goal by exporting all that data to CSV format? 

As stated in the link I provided you yesterday: 

The platform provides a default upper limit for data exports.

The purpose of the upper limit is to avoid creating performance issues when a table is excessively large. If you must export more records than the threshold permits, Break up a large export into separate manageable chunks.

So if you want to break your instance or just create general performance issues for all people using it, yes then you can change the limit to 10000000000.

Hi Meher,

It depends if your system adminstrator has changed the limit? Otherwise, please see the ServiceNow documentation for export limits here:
