    Pourquoi et quand exécuter cette tâche

    Note the following important details:
    • Data exported from a list may be different from what a user sees in the list view. This generally happens when a table has ACLs that are dependent on the user's current session. To avoid blocking user activity on the browser, list export is executed from a background thread and doesn't have access to user session data.
    • To export records in an embedded list, export the record containing the list. See Export data from a record.
    • To control how line breaks appear in exported CSV data, use the glide.csv.export.line_break system property. See glide.csv.export.line_break.
    • To remove unwanted HTML tags from list data, see the blog Rendering HTML in Exported Lists by a ServiceNow employee in the ServiceNow Community.
    • The platform provides a default upper limit for data exports. See Export limits.
