# Query Settings - Schedule Export

When you create a query and select **Edit Query → Schedule Export,** you’ll find the following settings.

![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/cd8ea7a6-07f3-4846-a554-627ac016d3e3/Images/Documentation/Query settings - Schedule Export.png)

📖 See [Scheduling Data Exports](https://knowledge.technolutions.net/docs/scheduling-exports) for more details.

## Status

Determine whether or not the export should automatically be based on the schedule established.

## Destination

Select the appropriate endpoint:

- **Technolutions SFTP**: Sends the file to the Slate SFTP site.
- **Custom File Transfer**: Sends the file to the Slate SFTP or an external SFTP site.
- **View (Dynamic)**: Configures the query as a dynamic view.
- **View (Materialized)**: Configures the query as a materialized view.
- **Web Service (Remote)**: Configures an endpoint that can be called via web services.
- **Retargeting: Facebook Audience**: Sends a targeted audience to [Facebook Custom Audiences](/v1/docs/facebook-custom-audiences).

#### View

Provide the view to be associated with either the Dynamic or Materialized View.

#### Endpoint

Provide a secure endpoint for the corresponding Web Service (Remote) server.

#### Headers

Define custom headers for the web service.

## Connection

Provide a secure connection for the corresponding Custom Server.

## Path

Specify the path of the file. A forward slash will create a directory. For example, `sis_exports/export_file_%F.txt`, generates a text file in the `sis_exports` directory within the outgoing directory.

Use the link at the right of the text box to see the possible date and time variables for the file name. Files with identical names will be overwritten; adding the `%FT%T` variable (full date and time stamp) makes it highly unlikely that files will be overwritten.

## Encryption

Select Secure Transfer or PGP Encryption

- **SecureTransfer:** The default
- **PGPEncryption**: Enter the PGP key to encrypt the data file. This is only necessary if the file is transferred to an external site in an insecure manner (i.e., not SFTP).

#### Public Key

Available when PGP Encryption is selected as the Encryption type. This would only be necessary if the file is transferred to an external site in an insecure manner (i.e., not SFTP.)

## Suppress Empty

Allow or suppress empty files; stops creation of empty files if a query returns no records. Otherwise, an empty file or one with only a header row is created.

## Requested Window

Determine the delivery window for the automated query execution.

## Requested Weekdays

Determine the days of the week to run the export.

## Requested Priority

This optional configuration prioritizes query exports within a specific Requested Delivery Window.

For example, if you have five queries scheduled to run during the morning window, and one is set to *high priority*, three are *normal priority*, and one is *low priority*, the high priority query runs first, then the three normal priority queries, then the low priority query.
