### This Component

This option allows you to export the current data shown on the table. You will also be able to sort the data based on a specific column. Choose the columns to include, and set the number of records to export.

### Set Data Source

This option provides three options:

* **Load Data:** Load data from a connected data source.
* **Load Using Workflow:** Load data resulting from a workflow.
* **Specify Data**: Load data from another component, page query, or a variable.

You will also be able to sort the data based on a specific column. Choose the columns to include, set the number of records to export, and set filters.

### Sorting

This feature allows you to sort the records by a specific column when exporting to a file. To disable sorting, choose `Not Specified` as a sorting option.
