- Once you have chosen your schema version, you can select the format for how ECCAIRS reports are sent out.

- Multiple Reports per E5X This will bundle all reports marked for export into one export sent to your authority.
- After making your choices, click the "Create" button. Your new export will be created in draft form automatically.
3. Configuring a new Export
The structure of an export is broken down into three tabs:
- Exporting
- Mapping
- History log
3.1. Exporting
The exporting tab mostly covers what reports are sent, when they are sent, and who they are sent to.
3.1.1. Automated Data Export
- Export to This is a mandatory field that requires a valid email address for the export to be sent to. This can be either the authority you report to or someone else who can forward it, depending on your configuration.
- Configuration This is where you can determine when your export is run. You can configure if it runs daily, weekly, etc., as well as on what day of the month, week, or at an interval of x days.
3.1.2. Export rule
This is where you create a rule that will allow reports to be marked for export via a field used in the report. (e.g. the following rule will export reports that have Glasgow chosen for the Airport field.)
Clicking the "add button" in the top right will allow you to add a new rule:
3.1.3. Forms
Here you can choose which report type you wish to send to your authority, as well as include attachments.
3.2. Mapping
Mapping is the second tab for configuring your export. This is where you configure the regulatory fields found within the schema to the fields used in your reports.
- To begin mapping, select a regulatory field in the left column.
- In the right column, select the source of the report fields (e.g. fields from the field bank, risk assessment fields, etc.), then select the report field you wish to map. Finally, click the button to add the rule.
- If you need to remove or change a rule, you can delete the field using the drop-down arrow:
- Once you are satisfied with the export you have created, you need to activate it. This can be done via the blue in the top right of the page.
- After activation, your export will send reporting data to the specified authority.
Important Note: Make sure to thoroughly test your export configuration before activating it to ensure data is being sent correctly to the intended authority.
