# How to create an Export by Attribute list

### <span lang="EN-GB">Introduction</span>

<span lang="EN-GB">Depending on how users intend to utilise the data from E2, they may require different data fields. E2 offers a functionality that allows users to create custom export attribute lists tailored to their specific needs.</span>

<span lang="EN-GB">Export attribute lists are user bound, that is they cannot be shared amongst other users. Every Authority user has access to this feature.</span>
