# Allow Export
The **Allow Export** feature enables users to export record lists to Excel. With this functionality, users can easily extract selected data in Excel format and save it, **supporting up to 200,000 records in a single export.** This capability is highly beneficial for data analysis and report generation, providing users with a powerful tool to efficiently manage critical information.

1. Activate the **Allow Export** toggle button.
