Export Attachment Records

When an Environment Comparison is run, or Object, Profile or User information is exported, an Export Attachment Record is created for the export. When an export request is completed, you receive an email notification your export file is ready. The link in the notification opens the Export Attachment Record in Salesforce. Your download file is available under Notes & Attachments.
