Managing ReferencesExport, Print & Import

Export, Print & Import

Export references as PDF, Excel, or PowerPoint, print catalogs, compare references, and import existing data.

Exporting references

Exports are available from the Reference Manager and search (single references, a selection, or a whole result set) and from watchlists.

The export dialog offers:

  • Format — PDF (print layout), Excel, or PowerPoint
  • Document template — your company's export templates, where configured (contact the platform team for corporate-design templates)
  • Orientation — portrait or landscape
  • Columns / content — choose what to include: service provider, client, confirmation status, links, service branches, watchlist notes, tags, published status, responsible location, custom identifier, contact user, contract value, …
  • List title and additional text for catalog-style exports
  • Export only the checked entries when you selected specific references

Internal columns (custom identifier, contract value, …) are marked as internal in the dialog — they are for your team's exports, not for public handouts.

If your browser blocks the export pop-up, the dialog shows a manual Open export here link.

Printing

  • Single reference — the detail page's print action opens print options (content toggles, then a print-ready view / PDF).
  • Company profile — the public profile has its own print dialog with layout and section choices.
  • Search results & watchlists — print the current result list or list selection as a catalog.

Comparing references

Select two or more references in the manager and choose Compare — a side-by-side table of their facts and properties. Useful for internal reviews and for preparing bids.

Importing existing data

If you already maintain references elsewhere, you don't have to re-type them:

  • Excel/CSV import — column-mapped import of reference lists (My Company Profile → Import, /my/company/import).
  • JSON import — structured import for larger or automated migrations.
  • Bulk export — your complete portfolio can be exported as a ZIP (JSON plus media and per-reference PDFs) under Export (/my/company/export), available on paid plans.

For an initial migration of a large portfolio (hundreds of references, media archives, ERP integration), contact the platform team — assisted imports via the API are often faster than spreadsheet preparation.
