This document will assist with exporting raw data from various 3rd Party Programs. If additional help is needed, it is always best to contact the 3rd Party Provider and inquire about exporting data in the needed format. The comments below are meant to be helpful but are directly from the 3rd Party Provider.

Step 3: On the left-hand side of the page under 'Card Options', select the option 'Default Archive folder' from the dropdown menu.

Once you select the grower, farm and field then you can select the specific files you want to export.
Step 5: Select the 'Export' button on the right-hand side of the page and it will have you select a location to export to. There will be other file types on the screen, but the file type that you are trying to export will be one that is fully colored in and the rest will be grayed out. Once a location to export the file is selected, click 'OK' and the files will be exported to the location that you chose.
Step 6: You can double check your successful export by going to were you intended to export the file and finding them there. This is where the files added to a USB drive, moved or uploaded to your NextGen account.
