Fix Failed or Stale Exports

Work out what to do when an export fails, stays queued, expires, or no longer matches the current event data.

All articles

Most export issues are either timing issues, data issues, or stale-file issues. The right fix depends on the status and what changed since the export was requested.

If an export is queued or running

  • Wait a short while for large reports or PDFs.
  • Refresh the page or use the status link where shown.
  • Avoid repeatedly requesting the same file unless the first job has clearly failed.

If an export failed

  • Try regenerating if the action is available.
  • Check whether required data is missing, such as a route with no stops or a plan with no saved layout.
  • If it fails again, contact support with the event name, document type, and approximate time you requested it.

If an export is stale

  • Regenerate after changing payments, compliance, participant list, ticket data, transport routes, stage schedule, or site plan layout.
  • Download the new completed export and avoid sharing the old copy.

When to contact support

  • The same export fails again after you have checked the source data.
  • A completed file cannot be downloaded by someone who should have access.
  • The status does not move after a reasonable wait and no retry option is available.

When support needs to investigate, the useful details are event name, module, export type, status, and what changed before the failure. A screenshot can help, and so can the names of the affected participants, tickets, routes, or documents.
