How to exclude email address field from Export.csv for contacts module

Hello Sanchit Kumar Singh , 

If you are exporting from the listview, the export file will contain every field from the database within the given module.

If you want to have control of which fields to be in the export file (and which to exclude), a good way is to create a Rows and columns Report and use it to export the Contacts without the email address field. 

You can check information on how to do it here:

Let me know if this is what you were looking for. 

Cheers, 

André 

If it's just a question of creating an export without email address you can do that with Andre Serrazina 's suggestion.

But if you are trying to keep a user from downloading a list of your customers' email addresses and selling it, or taking it with them to the competition, then there is nothing you can do, even if you disable the export, keep in mind that whatever one can see in the front end one can access using an API call with the same credentials as the front-end application..

Hi Ramya Katram 
it's in the reply within this thread

Hi Vincent,

Thanks for sharing the information. But this link does not give the information how to exclude specific email address field or any other field when exporting the data from list view in the module. Please kindly let me know
if you can share the link related to that. Thank you.

hi Ramya Katram 

Apologies for late reply, have been on holiday 

Exporting from the list view will always include ALL fields from that module.

You can use Roles to exclude exporting all the data from any particular module, but not able to exclude exporting just the email.

This will stop exporting from both list view and reports.
