When exporting a large list (Price List, LPG) or data table to an XLSX or CSV file, you can choose an 'asynchronous download'.

When to Use This Option

...

Pricefx needs to fully generate the XLSX on the backend first – to know its length and to be able to send it correctly. When the asynchronous download is enabled, after you click 'Download' Export, there is a new dialog with a spinner displayed. Once the file is ready, the Download button in the dialog become active. This way you avoid the 5-minute browser-side timeout (which cannot be changed and causes the timeout). Once the XLSX file is downloaded (or if the download is canceled earlier), the file is deleted from the node.

Since version 10.0 in the Analytics module, the Export button remains active after starting a download enabling you to do some data filtering and click the Export button again to download another file.

If a browser freezes or something unexpected happens, any export will eventually (in 2 hours) be deleted on the backend on the best effort basis.
