Event management for WordPress, done right.

Advanced CSV exports

Pro’s Advanced CSV Exports give you two configurable export types – attendee lists and ticket manifests – with column selection, so you can get exactly the data you need for grant reports, artist deliverables, check-in sheets, and financial reconciliation.

Accessing exports

Go to Events → Reports → Export tab in your WordPress admin.

Attendee list export

Use this when you need a list of people attending an occurrence.

  1. Select Attendee List as the export type.
  2. Choose the event and occurrence you want to export.
  3. Check the columns you want to include. Typical choices:
    • Attendee name
    • Email address
    • Ticket type purchased
    • Order status
    • Registration date
    • Custom fields (if you collected any)
  4. Click Export CSV.

The file downloads immediately and includes one row per attendee.

Ticket manifest export

Use this when you need a list of tickets (which may differ from attendees if you allow multi-ticket purchases).

  1. Select Ticket Manifest as the export type.
  2. Choose the event and occurrence.
  3. Select ticket-specific columns:
    • Ticket number
    • Ticket type
    • Check-in status (checked in / not checked in)
    • Seat assignment (if seating is configured)
    • Purchaser name and email
  4. Click Export CSV.

Custom columns

Developers can extend both export types with custom columns via the nte_pro_export_columns filter. See the Pro plugin source for the filter signature and column registration API.

Typical use cases:

  • Add a column showing the customer’s purchase history count
  • Include a custom meta field from the order
  • Append a calculated field (e.g., days-until-event at time of purchase)

CSV format notes

  • UTF-8 encoded, no BOM.
  • First row is the column headers using the display names you selected.
  • Dates are in ISO 8601 format (2026-04-20T19:00:00-05:00).
  • Empty values are serialized as empty strings, not NULL.
  • Commas and quotes in cell values are properly escaped per RFC 4180.

Tips

  • For grant reporting, run the Attendee List export with just Name + Email + Ticket Type – most funders want a simple headcount with no PII beyond contact info.
  • For door check-in cheat sheets, run the Ticket Manifest with Ticket Number + Attendee Name + Seat Assignment, sorted alphabetically.
  • If you need data across multiple events in one file, use the Revenue Reports per-row export and combine the resulting files.
