# Item export

This walkthrough provides an overview of how to export data from Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. In the following example, you export item data in fixed-length format.

## Prerequisites

| Template | Description | Sample file |
| --- | --- | --- |
| TI_CS_ITEM.OUT | STAEDEAN Template: Export Items (TXT Format) | N/A |

## Story

This connection uses a **Timer Event** to trigger the pipeline based on a time interval in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. Once the pipeline triggers, the **XML Generator** activity creates an XML file based on an internal document and filtered set of data. The **XML to Text Translator** converts the XML to a text document. The **File Writer** writes the text document to the specified location.

1. Import the Connectivity Studio Connection-TI_CS_ITEM.OUT.zip configuration package. ![Item Out](https://cdn.document360.io/da662430-6a41-47b1-8c7e-7e4ac37a9756/Images/Documentation/DM_ItemOut_Import.png)
2. Open the TI_CS_ITEM.OUT connection. On the **Connection** page, edit the **File Writer** settings and enter the folder name. ![Item Out Settings](https://cdn.document360.io/da662430-6a41-47b1-8c7e-7e4ac37a9756/Images/Documentation/DM_ItemOut_Settings.png)

## Process

1. Process the connection.
2. Check the output folder location.
3. A text file with the item details is created. In this scenario, the item details are exported based on the following filter: Item: No.=>1000&<1200. You can change this in the **Timer Event** settings.

## Result

![Item Out Result](https://cdn.document360.io/da662430-6a41-47b1-8c7e-7e4ac37a9756/Images/Documentation/DM_ItemOut_Result.png) This exports items in fixed-length format based on the internal document structure and a filtered set specified in the **Timer Event**.
