Once in the Export Jobs screen, you can edit an existing job by selecting one from the list, or create a new job by clicking Create New Export Job at the bottom of the screen.

Enter a Job Name, and then in the Job Status field, you can either activate or deactivate the job, depending on the job status.
In the Job Category field, select one of the following options described below:
- Catalog - metadata describing the user data and the topology of the electrical network
- Measurements – device level readings measured by Panoramic Power sensors.
- Pulse Meter Measurements – Pulse Meters readings measured through loggers or Bridges
- PAN-42 Measurements - actual PAN-42 meters readings
Note: You can view a sample of each type by clicking the information icon to the right.
Note: When Measurements, Pulse Meter Measurements or PAN-42 Measurements, an additional field, Measurements Point Resolution, appears, with options of 30 min or 1 hour (unless hourly is selected, then only 1 hour is available). The available point resolution options depend on the Job Execution Frequency and Format & Transportation selected.
In the Sites section, you can select jobs that process data for the entire account (the All option) or choose from a list of selected sites in the account (the Specific option).
Two Versions are available (for Catalog job type only):
- V1.0: Including data of sites and devices under the a specific site.
- V1.1: Including data of account level, sites and devices under a specific site.
The Job Execution Frequency field can be set for the job to include data for a specific amount of time. This field is automatically set to Every Day when Catalog is selected as the job category type. When Measurements or is selected as the job category type, the Job Execution Frequency field can be set to either Every Day, Every Hour.
Note: If a higher frequency is required such as 15 minutes or 5 minutes, submit a support ticket with all of the details and we can help carry out the request after internal review.
In the Format & Transportation field, you can run export jobs periodically in either a JSON over HTTPS, CSV over SFTP, or CSV over FTPS format. These options are described below.
Note: If CSV over FTPs or CSV over SFTP format is selected, you must submit a support ticket to request credentials to be created for the account. Enter them in the User Name and Password fields once received by us. The credentials for FTPs are identical to the credentials for SFTP.

To understand the differences between SFTP and FTPs, please review the table below:

Parameter	Secure shell file transfer protocol (SFTP)	File transfer protocol secure (FTPS)
Network communication approach	SFTP builds on secure shell protocol (SSH) and adds on file transfer capabilities.	FTPS builds on file transfer protocol (FTP) and adds on a security and encryption layer.
Firewall support	It uses a single connection through only one port, making it easier to install firewall solutions.	It needs a secondary data connection, and its use of multiple ports makes it difficult for firewalls to work.
Transfer speeds	It involves a high resource overhead and slows down file delivery.	It is simple, straightforward, and lean, making it several times faster.
Binary and ASCII	It supports only binary transmission, and users cannot choose between different modes.	It supports both binary and ASCII transmissions, making it easier to maintain logs.
.NET compatibility	Developers cannot build .NET programs with SFTP functionalities, as compatibility is missing.	.NET includes a number of commands to support file uploads in FTPS modes.
Authentication mechanism	It uses out-of-band authentication and does not need signed certificates, as the data is inherently encrypted.	The FTP server must mandatorily provide a public-key certificate to sign off on the authentication.
Usage commands	It supports a long list of commands with granular controls, such as defining file permissions.	It supports a relatively limited list of commands, with less control over remote files and directories.
Adoption	It is widely adopted, and most servers and cloud storage solutions support SFTP.	It is built on FTP, which is gradually being phased out for HTTPS and other protocols.
