Find & export data

This guide shows you how to find and export data from a site on the Koordinates platform, including exporting several layers at once.

It’s intended for first-time users. For more detail, read the rest of the Get Started guides, or see Find and export data.

To export data, you need to be signed in with a Koordinates ID.

1. Enter your search term

Enter a term in the search bar at the top of the data browser.

Explore panel with the search bar and the Browse filters on the left, showing NZ Property Titles and NZ Addresses results.

2. Filter your results

Use the filters to narrow your results. Depending on the site, these include:

Region
Data Type
Publisher
Date
License
Access

Explore panel with an arrow pointing to the Region, Data Type, Publisher, Date, License and Access filters.

3. Add your data to the map

Select Map on the card for the data you want. It’s added to the map viewer. To export several layers together, repeat steps 1 to 3 for each one.

4. Select ‘Export’

In the map viewer, select Export to start exporting the data on the map.

Export dialog with Coordinate Reference System, Shapefile format, crop options on the map and a Create Export button.

You can also export a single dataset from its sheet: open the … menu and select Export.

5. Choose your export options

In the export window, you can:

choose a file format for each type of data;
choose a Coordinate Reference System;
crop the data to reduce the file size: select Add Crop, then Crop by Rectangle, Crop by Map Viewer extent or, where available, Crop by region; and
rename the download file.

Then select Create Export.

If you aren’t signed in, selecting Create Export takes you to sign in first.

When your export is ready, you’ll get an email with a link to it, unless you’ve turned off download-ready emails. You can also download it from the export progress panel in the top navigation, or from Exports in your user menu.
