Where to find the Project Index
You’ll find the Project index button in the top menu of the Documents page.
Two options are available:
Project index – export the full project structure (based on your current view or folder location)
Custom project index – export selected content with filters
How to export the Project Index
1. Project index (default)
This option exports the entire structure of the data room — or just the section you’re viewing — in one click.
To export the full project structure:
Go to the Documents page
Open the root folder
Click Project index → Project index
The .XLSX file will download automatically
2. Custom project index
Use this option to apply filters and choose what content to include before exporting.
To create a custom Project index report:
Click Project index → Custom project index
A customization window will appear
Adjust the settings as needed
Click Export
You can apply the following filters:
Contents
Choose what kind of items you want to export:
Files and folders (default)
Only files
Only folders
Each option affects the structure and columns in the export.
Option | Key Differences |
Only files | Excludes folder size, includes file-specific details |
Only folders | Excludes file size and page count |
Files and folders | Full structure, with all data included |
💡 Notes will be added at the bottom of the file (e.g., “Include: Files only, no Recycle bin”).
Recycle bin
Toggle to include or exclude deleted items.
When enabled, the Recycle bin appears as a separate folder at the end of the report
Deleted items will include a column: Deleted to Recycle bin on
💡 By default, the toggle is ON — so Recycle bin items are included unless you turn it off.
Documents uploaded after
Enable this toggle to filter items based on upload date.
Select a single date using the calendar
Only items uploaded on or after this date will be included
Applies to all content types: files, folders, or both
💡 You can’t select dates before the room’s creation or after today.
What’s inside the exported report?
The exported file is a structured .XLSX file containing detailed information about every folder and document based on your selection.
