 The **Full export of Checked Tables** button gives you a way of re-exporting the specific table data from scratch immediately.
 The table contains a list of all the database tables in mSupply that can be exported to the dashboard. Simply check the checkbox in the Export column to set that table to be exported to the dashboard when you click on The **Full export of Checked Tables** button. The **All/None** checkbox is a quick way of toggling between all tables selected and non-tables selected.

+It is not advisable to run a full export of the database (i.e. including all database tables) unless really necessary. This is because it can take a loing time if the database is large and, during that time, some tables will be inaccessible so reports and other functions might not work in mSupply.
+If you do run a full export (i.e. including all database tables) then you must enter your name and give a reason for the export in the //Add your name and reason for running the full export!// text field. This text will be added to the log.

 When you click on either of them you must enter your authorisation code before the export will be carried out.
