Hi everyone,

This may well be a stupid question, but: I have a table of data in Experience builder and have enabled 'data actions' so that people can download this data. However, by default people can only choose between downloading JSON, CSV or GeoJSON. I would prefer to allow the data to be downloaded as a file geodatabase - any idea how I can enable this? I can't change any export settings because Export is greyed out with a note saying 'Export is configured in the Data panel', but I have no idea where the Data panel is! Any advice would be gratefully received.

Thank you!

To activate data downloading, open the Data Panel with the stacked circles on the left side of the screen then go to the data source you want to be downloadable and hit allow export.

Downloading as a file geodatabase is not supported by Experience Builder.

Thank you! As a follow-up question: am I correct that GeoJSON appears to be the only spatial file format available to download? I'd like users to be able to download this data and straightforwardly open it in ArcMap or ArcPro, but GeoJSON will present them with a problem. It seems a bit strange that one bit of the Esri ecosystem is constrained to spitting out data that another bit of the Esri ecosystem finds awkward?

JSON or GeoJSON should work. Either way, the user will be doing a conversion afterwards.
