Export

Exporting of records in SplashID Classic allows you to store your records in a file.

You can use the exported file to

  1. Keep your own backups.
  2. Add content to other profiles.

The export screen can be reached by clicking or tapping on the Settings link in the application menu, and then clicking or tapping on the Import & Export section header.

Types of export

SplashID Classic supports exporting to two file formats.

  1. SVID-9
  2. CSV

SVID-9

SVID-9 is a custom file format that SplashID Classic uses. The contents of the file are encrypted with a password you provide at the time of taking the export.

An exported SVID-9 file name will have the exported date and time with an extension called svid9.zip . An example of an SVID-9 file name is 2022-05-28_09-30-19_classic.svid9.zip.

CSV

The CSV export saves the record fields in a tabular format with only the field values. The contents of the file are NOT encrypted and contain only the textual information present in your records.

An exported CSV file will have the exported date and time with an extension called csv. An example of an SVID-9 file name is 2022-12-28_08-05-22_classic.csv.
