# Allowing your visitors to export data

You may want to allow visitors to your locator to export their search results in a downloadable format.

To support this use case, an Export button can be added to the Search form as shown below:

To enable the export button, ensure the **Enable Export** button is checked. This is a security measure which enables the button's export features.

The Export button also supports the ability to require users to perform a search before they are permitted to export. To allow exports before and after searching, check **Allow Before Search**.

The export format controls the headings in the resulting CSV file:  
​

```
"{name}","{address}","{address2}","{city}","{state}","{postalcode}"
```

Additional columns can be added to the file by repeating the pattern above for other custom fields. For categories, use "tag1, tag2"

```
"{name}","{address}","{address2}","{city}","{state}","{postalcode}","{tag1}","{tag2}"
```

The number of rows in the export file is the same as the Number of Results per Page setting
