# Export Check Templates

Source: https://userguide.qualytics.io/data-quality-checks/templates/how-tos/export/

Export your check templates to an enrichment datastore to query them for reporting, share them with other teams, or keep them as a backup. The export writes every check template to one table in the enrichment datastore you pick.

> **Info: Permissions**
>
> Users with the **Manager** or **Admin** role can export check templates. The destination must be an [enrichment datastore](https://userguide.qualytics.io/source-datastore/enrichment-datastore/getting-started/).

> **Note: Button not showing**
>
> **Export Check Templates** appears only when your organization has at least one check template and at least one enrichment datastore.

## Steps

### Export the Templates

**Step 1**: Click **Library** in the left side panel. The Library page opens.

**Step 2**: Click **Export Check Templates**  at the top right. The **Export Check Templates** dialog opens and shows how many check templates will be exported.

**Step 3**: In **Enrichment Destination**, select the enrichment datastore that will receive the templates.

**Step 4**: Click **Export**. The dialog shows **Export in motion**, and the templates reach the enrichment datastore within a couple of minutes.

> **Tip: Export on a schedule**
>
> To export the templates automatically, for example every night, add a [Global Export action](https://userguide.qualytics.io/flows/actions/how-tos/operation/configure-a-global-export-action/) with **Check Templates** to a Flow with a **Schedule** trigger. The action can export every template or only the ones you pick.

### Follow the Export

The export runs as a **Global Export** operation in the enrichment datastore you selected.

**Step 1**: Click **View operation** in the dialog, or open the enrichment datastore's **Activity** tab. The export's run shows its progress and whether it succeeded.

**Step 2**: To stop an export in progress, click **Abort** on the run. To export the templates again into the same datastore, click **Rerun** on a finished run. See [Runs Available Actions](https://userguide.qualytics.io/operations/runs/deep-dive/actions/).

Acting on a Global Export run follows the same rule as starting one: users with the **Manager** or **Admin** role can abort, rerun, or delete a check template export, whatever their team permission on the enrichment datastore.

> **Note: Empty exports do not refresh the snapshot**
>
> If there are no check templates to export, the run ends with **Failure** and leaves any previous export in place. Its message confirms that the snapshot was not refreshed. A Flow running this export also fails and skips its downstream actions.

### Review the Exported Templates

The templates land in a container named `_export_check_templates`. It appears in the enrichment datastore as soon as the export finishes, and Qualytics profiles it, so no Sync is needed. From the export's run in the **Activity** tab, **View Results** opens the datastore's list already narrowed to it.

**Step 1**: Open the enrichment datastore you selected. In the datastore tree, the **Enrichment** filter chip narrows the list to enrichment datastores.

**Step 2**: Open the **Tables** tab, or **Files** on a file-based datastore, and filter by **Purpose** set to **Export**.

**Step 3**: Click `_export_check_templates`, shown with the **Export** badge. It has no writing datastore, because check templates belong to the whole organization rather than to one datastore.

**Step 4**: To download the rows as a CSV file, open the container's [Data Preview](https://userguide.qualytics.io/container/deep-dive/data-preview/) tab. The preview shows up to 100 rows, so the file holds at most 100 rows. For a complete copy, query `_export_check_templates` in the enrichment datastore directly.

> **Info: No import step**
>
> Qualytics does not read the exported table back in. To reuse a template on another datastore, add a check from it in **Library** instead.
