8. When you have selected everything you require select "Export Results" in the bottom left of the screen. You can alternatively schedule the report to your inbox at any frequency. (Note if you are exporting more than 1,000 lines of metadata you will need to wait a couple of minutes for the export to complete before your download link is ready.)
