What is the purpose of exporting KPI data to a .csv file?

Exporting KPI data to a .csv file serves several important purposes, with one of the primary ones being to facilitate the sharing of data with individuals who do not have access to the NetSuite platform. A .csv file is a widely recognized format that can easily be opened in various spreadsheet applications, making it accessible to a broader audience. This accessibility ensures that stakeholders, team members, or external parties can view and work with the KPI data without needing a NetSuite account.

In addition to sharing data, exporting to .csv also allows users to further manipulate and analyze the data using software that may provide more specialized tools for data analysis, visualization, or reporting. While creating visualizations and analyzing data with other software are also valid uses of exported data, the primary function of using a .csv for sharing with non-NetSuite users makes that option particularly significant.
