Use filters to include only specific items in the spreadsheet. Leave filters empty to include all items.
Available filters:

Cleaning Categories: Filter by cleaning requirements (Needs Cleaning, Biohazard, As Is, etc.)

When you select multiple options in a filter, the spreadsheet includes items matching any of those selections.
Important Notes About This Format
Fixed Column Structure
Unlike other reports, you cannot customize which columns appear. The XACT format uses a standardized structure required for compatibility with estimation software.
If you need custom columns, use the Custom Inventory Report instead.
No Photos
This spreadsheet does not include item photos. It's designed for data transfer, not visual documentation.
For photo documentation, use the Photo Report instead.
Pricing Information
This format includes replacement cost information ("Cost to replace" and "Total cost" columns) that may not be appropriate to share with all parties. Use the "Remove Cost Columns" option to exclude pricing information when needed.
Viewing Report History

Tips
Remove pricing columns before sharing with policyholders or external contractors
Use filters to create exports for specific rooms or categories
Check compatibility with your target software before large-scale exports
Test import first with a small subset of items to ensure proper formatting
Troubleshooting
Spreadsheet missing expected data
Check if filters are enabled and excluding items
Verify items have all required fields populated
Try generating without filters to see all items
File won't open
Ensure you have Excel or compatible spreadsheet software
Try opening in Google Sheets if Excel is unavailable
Re-download if the file appears corrupted
