## Introduction
Filament includes an action that is able to export rows to a CSV or XLSX file. When the trigger button is clicked, a modal asks for the columns that they want to export, and what they should be labeled. This feature uses [job batches](https://laravel.com/docs/queues#job-batching) and [database notifications](../../notifications/database-notifications), so you need to publish those migrations from Laravel. Also, you need to publish the migrations for tables that Filament uses to store information about exports:
```bash
# Laravel 11 and higher
php artisan make:queue-batches-table
php artisan make:notifications-table
# Laravel 10
php artisan queue:batches-table
php artisan notifications:table
```
```bash
# All apps
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=filament-actions-migrations
php artisan migrate
```
You may use the `ExportAction` like so:
```php
use App\Filament\Exports\ProductExporter;
use Filament\Actions\ExportAction;
ExportAction::make()
->exporter(ProductExporter::class)
```
If you want to add this action to the header of a table, you may do so like this:
```php
use App\Filament\Exports\ProductExporter;
use Filament\Actions\ExportAction;
use Filament\Tables\Table;
public function table(Table $table): Table
{
return $table
->headerActions([
ExportAction::make()
->exporter(ProductExporter::class),
]);
}
```
Or if you want to add it as a table bulk action, so that the user can choose which rows to export, they can use `Filament\Actions\ExportBulkAction`:
```php
use App\Filament\Exports\ProductExporter;
use Filament\Actions\ExportBulkAction;
use Filament\Tables\Table;
public function table(Table $table): Table
{
return $table
->toolbarActions([
ExportBulkAction::make()
->exporter(ProductExporter::class),
]);
}
```
The ["exporter" class needs to be created](#creating-an-exporter) to tell Filament how to export each row.
## Creating an exporter
To create an exporter class for a model, you may use the `make:filament-exporter` command, passing the name of a model:
```bash
php artisan make:filament-exporter Product
```
This will create a new class in the `app/Filament/Exports` directory. You now need to define the [columns](#defining-exporter-columns) that can be exported.
### Automatically generating exporter columns
If you'd like to save time, Filament can automatically generate the [columns](#defining-exporter-columns) for you, based on your model's database columns, using `--generate`:
```bash
php artisan make:filament-exporter Product --generate
```
## Defining exporter columns
To define the columns that can be exported, you need to override the `getColumns()` method on your exporter class, returning an array of `ExportColumn` objects:
```php
use Filament\Actions\Exports\ExportColumn;
public static function getColumns(): array
{
return [
ExportColumn::make('name'),
ExportColumn::make('sku')
->label('SKU'),
ExportColumn::make('price'),
];
}
```
### Customizing the label of an export column
The label for each column will be generated automatically from its name, but you can override it by calling the `label()` method:
```php
use Filament\Actions\Exports\ExportColumn;
ExportColumn::make('sku')
->label('SKU')
```
### Configuring the default column selection
By default, all columns will be selected when the user is asked which columns they would like to export. You can customize the default selection state for a column with the `enabledByDefault()` method:
```php
use Filament\Actions\Exports\ExportColumn;
ExportColumn::make('description')
->enabledByDefault(false)
```
### Configuring the column selection form layout
By default, the column selection form uses a single column layout. You can change this using the `columnMappingColumns()` method, passing the number of columns you would like to use for the layout on large screens:
```php
use App\Filament\Exports\ProductExporter;
use Filament\Actions\ExportAction;
ExportAction::make()
->exporter(ProductExporter::class)
->columnMappingColumns(3)
```
This will display the column selection checkboxes and label inputs in a 3-column layout, making better use of available space when you have many exportable columns. Note that while there will be three columns in the layout on large screens, the layout will still be responsive and there will be fewer columns displayed on smaller screens.
### Disabling column selection
By default, user will be asked which columns they would like to export. You can disable this functionality using `columnMapping(false)`:
```php
use App\Filament\Exports\ProductExporter;
use Filament\Actions\ExportAction;
ExportAction::make()
->exporter(ProductExporter::class)
->columnMapping(false)
```
### Calculated export column state
Sometimes you need to calculate the state of a column, instead of directly reading it from a database column.
By passing a callback function to the `state()` method, you can customize the returned state for that column based on the `$record`:
```php
use App\Models\Order;
use Filament\Actions\Exports\ExportColumn;
ExportColumn::make('amount_including_vat')
->state(function (Order $record): float {
return $record->amount * (1 + $record->vat_rate);
})
```
As well as `$record`, the `state()` function can inject various utilities as parameters.
### Formatting the value of an export column
You may instead pass a custom formatting callback to `formatStateUsing()`, which accepts the `$state` of the cell, and optionally the Eloquent `$record`:
```php
use Filament\Actions\Exports\ExportColumn;
ExportColumn::make('status')
->formatStateUsing(fn (string $state): string => __("statuses.{$state}"))
```
As well as `$state`, the `formatStateUsing()` function can inject various utilities as parameters.
If there are [multiple values](#exporting-multiple-values-in-a-cell) in the column, the function will be called for each value.
#### Limiting text length
You may `limit()` the length of the cell's value:
```php
use Filament\Actions\Exports\ExportColumn;
ExportColumn::make('description')
->limit(50)
```
As well as allowing a static value, the `limit()` method also accepts a function to dynamically calculate it. You can inject various utilities into the function as parameters.
#### Limiting word count
You may limit the number of `words()` displayed in the cell:
```php
use Filament\Actions\Exports\ExportColumn;
ExportColumn::make('description')
->words(10)
```
As well as allowing a static value, the `words()` method also accepts a function to dynamically calculate it. You can inject various utilities into the function as parameters.
#### Adding a prefix or suffix
You may add a `prefix()` or `suffix()` to the cell's value:
```php
use Filament\Actions\Exports\ExportColumn;
ExportColumn::make('domain')
->prefix('https://')
->suffix('.com')
```
As well as allowing static values, the `prefix()` and `suffix()` methods also accept functions to dynamically calculate them. You can inject various utilities into the functions as parameters.
### Exporting multiple values in a cell
By default, if there are multiple values in the column, they will be comma-separated. You may use the `listAsJson()` method to list them as a JSON array instead:
```php
use Filament\Actions\Exports\ExportColumn;
ExportColumn::make('tags')
->listAsJson()
```
### Displaying data from relationships
You may use "dot notation" to access columns within relationships. The name of the relationship comes first, followed by a period, followed by the name of the column to display:
```php
use Filament\Actions\Exports\ExportColumn;
ExportColumn::make('author.name')
```
### Counting relationships
If you wish to count the number of related records in a column, you may use the `counts()` method:
```php
use Filament\Actions\Exports\ExportColumn;
ExportColumn::make('users_count')
->counts('users')
```
In this example, `users` is the name of the relationship to count from. The name of the column must be `users_count`, as this is the convention that [Laravel uses](https://laravel.com/docs/eloquent-relationships#counting-related-models) for storing the result.
If you'd like to scope the relationship before calculating, you can pass an array to the method, where the key is the relationship name and the value is the function to scope the Eloquent query with:
```php
use Filament\Actions\Exports\ExportColumn;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder;
ExportColumn::make('users_count')
->counts([
'users' => fn (Builder $query) => $query->where('is_active', true),
])
```
### Determining relationship existence
If you simply wish to indicate whether related records exist in a column, you may use the `exists()` method:
```php
use Filament\Actions\Exports\ExportColumn;
ExportColumn::make('users_exists')
->exists('users')
```
In this example, `users` is the name of the relationship to check for existence. The name of the column must be `users_exists`, as this is the convention that [Laravel uses](https://laravel.com/docs/eloquent-relationships#other-aggregate-functions) for storing the result.
If you'd like to scope the relationship before calculating, you can pass an array to the method, where the key is the relationship name and the value is the function to scope the Eloquent query with:
```php
use Filament\Actions\Exports\ExportColumn;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder;
ExportColumn::make('users_exists')
->exists([
'users' => fn (Builder $query) => $query->where('is_active', true),
])
```
### Aggregating relationships
Filament provides several methods for aggregating a relationship field, including `avg()`, `max()`, `min()` and `sum()`. For instance, if you wish to show the average of a field on all related records in a column, you may use the `avg()` method:
```php
use Filament\Actions\Exports\ExportColumn;
ExportColumn::make('users_avg_age')
->avg('users', 'age')
```
In this example, `users` is the name of the relationship, while `age` is the field that is being averaged. The name of the column must be `users_avg_age`, as this is the convention that [Laravel uses](https://laravel.com/docs/eloquent-relationships#other-aggregate-functions) for storing the result.
If you'd like to scope the relationship before calculating, you can pass an array to the method, where the key is the relationship name and the value is the function to scope the Eloquent query with:
```php
use Filament\Actions\Exports\ExportColumn;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder;
ExportColumn::make('users_avg_age')
->avg([
'users' => fn (Builder $query) => $query->where('is_active', true),
], 'age')
```
## Configuring the export formats
By default, the export action will allow the user to choose between both CSV and XLSX formats. You can use the `ExportFormat` enum to customize this, by passing an array of formats to the `formats()` method on the action:
```php
use App\Filament\Exports\ProductExporter;
use Filament\Actions\ExportAction;
use Filament\Actions\Exports\Enums\ExportFormat;
ExportAction::make()
->exporter(ProductExporter::class)
->formats([
ExportFormat::Csv,
])
// or
->formats([
ExportFormat::Xlsx,
])
// or
->formats([
ExportFormat::Xlsx,
ExportFormat::Csv,
])
```
Alternatively, you can override the `getFormats()` method on the exporter class, which will set the default formats for all actions that use that exporter:
```php
use Filament\Actions\Exports\Enums\ExportFormat;
public function getFormats(): array
{
return [
ExportFormat::Csv,
];
}
```
## Modifying the export query
By default, if you are using the `ExportAction` with a table, the action will use the table's currently filtered and sorted query to export the data. If you don't have a table, it will use the model's default query. To modify the query builder before exporting, you can use the `modifyQueryUsing()` method on the action:
```php
use App\Filament\Exports\ProductExporter;
use Filament\Actions\ExportAction;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder;
ExportAction::make()
->exporter(ProductExporter::class)
->modifyQueryUsing(fn (Builder $query) => $query->where('is_active', true))
```
You may inject the `$options` argument into the function, which is an array of [options](#using-export-options) for that export:
```php
use App\Filament\Exports\ProductExporter;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder;
ExportAction::make()
->exporter(ProductExporter::class)
->modifyQueryUsing(fn (Builder $query, array $options) => $query->where('is_active', $options['isActive'] ?? true))
```
Alternatively, you can override the `modifyQuery()` method on the exporter class, which will modify the query for all actions that use that exporter:
```php
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\MorphTo;
public static function modifyQuery(Builder $query): Builder
{
return $query->with([
'purchasable' => fn (MorphTo $morphTo) => $morphTo->morphWith([
ProductPurchase::class => ['product'],
ServicePurchase::class => ['service'],
Subscription::class => ['plan'],
]),
]);
}
```
## Configuring the export filesystem
### Customizing the storage disk
By default, exported files will be uploaded to the storage disk defined in the [configuration file](../../installation#publishing-configuration), which is `public` by default. You can set the `FILAMENT_FILESYSTEM_DISK` environment variable to change this.
While using the `public` disk a good default for many parts of Filament, using it for exports would result in exported files being stored in a public location. As such, if the default filesystem disk is `public` and a `local` disk exists in your `config/filesystems.php`, Filament will use the `local` disk for exports instead. If you override the disk to be `public` for an `ExportAction` or inside an exporter class, Filament will use that.
In production, you should use a disk such as `s3` with a private access policy, to prevent unauthorized access to the exported files.
If you want to use a different disk for a specific export, you can pass the disk name to the `disk()` method on the action:
```php
use Filament\Actions\ExportAction;
ExportAction::make()
->exporter(ProductExporter::class)
->fileDisk('s3')
```
You may set the disk for all export actions at once in the `boot()` method of a service provider such as `AppServiceProvider`:
```php
use Filament\Actions\ExportAction;
ExportAction::configureUsing(fn (ExportAction $action) => $action->fileDisk('s3'));
```
Alternatively, you can override the `getFileDisk()` method on the exporter class, returning the name of the disk:
```php
public function getFileDisk(): string
{
return 's3';
}
```
Export files that are created are the developer's responsibility to delete if they wish. Filament does not delete these files in case the exports need to be downloaded again at a later date.
### Configuring the export file names
By default, exported files will have a name generated based on the ID and type of the export. You can also use the `fileName()` method on the action to customize the file name:
```php
use Filament\Actions\ExportAction;
use Filament\Actions\Exports\Models\Export;
ExportAction::make()
->exporter(ProductExporter::class)
->fileName(fn (Export $export): string => "products-{$export->getKey()}.csv")
```
Alternatively, you can override the `getFileName()` method on the exporter class, returning a string:
```php
use Filament\Actions\Exports\Models\Export;
public function getFileName(Export $export): string
{
return "products-{$export->getKey()}.csv";
}
```
## Using export options
The export action can render extra form components that the user can interact with when exporting a CSV. This can be useful to allow the user to customize the behavior of the exporter. For instance, you might want a user to be able to choose the format of specific columns when exporting. To do this, you can return options form components from the `getOptionsFormComponents()` method on your exporter class:
```php
use Filament\Forms\Components\TextInput;
public static function getOptionsFormComponents(): array
{
return [
TextInput::make('descriptionLimit')
->label('Limit the length of the description column content')
->integer(),
];
}
```
Alternatively, you can pass a set of static options to the exporter through the `options()` method on the action:
```php
use App\Filament\Exports\ProductExporter;
use Filament\Actions\ExportAction;
ExportAction::make()
->exporter(ProductExporter::class)
->options([
'descriptionLimit' => 250,
])
```
As well as allowing a static value, the `options()` method also accepts a function to dynamically calculate it. You can inject various utilities into the function as parameters.
Now, you can access the data from these options inside the exporter class, by injecting the `$options` argument into any closure function. For example, you might want to use it inside `formatStateUsing()` to [format a column's value](#formatting-the-value-of-an-export-column):
```php
use Filament\Actions\Exports\ExportColumn;
ExportColumn::make('description')
->formatStateUsing(function (string $state, array $options): string {
return (string) str($state)->limit($options['descriptionLimit'] ?? 100);
})
```
Alternatively, since the `$options` argument is passed to all closure functions, you can access it inside `limit()`:
```php
use Filament\Actions\Exports\ExportColumn;
ExportColumn::make('description')
->limit(fn (array $options): int => $options['descriptionLimit'] ?? 100)
```
## Using a custom user model
By default, the `exports` table has a `user_id` column. That column is constrained to the `users` table:
```php
$table->foreignId('user_id')->constrained()->cascadeOnDelete();
```
In the `Export` model, the `user()` relationship is defined as a `BelongsTo` relationship to the `App\Models\User` model. If the `App\Models\User` model does not exist, or you want to use a different one, you can bind a new `Authenticatable` model to the container in a service provider's `register()` method:
```php
use App\Models\Admin;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Authenticatable;
$this->app->bind(Authenticatable::class, Admin::class);
```
If your authenticatable model uses a different table to `users`, you should pass that table name to `constrained()`:
```php
$table->foreignId('user_id')->constrained('admins')->cascadeOnDelete();
```
### Using a polymorphic user relationship
If you want to associate exports with multiple user models, you can use a polymorphic `MorphTo` relationship instead. To do this, you need to replace the `user_id` column in the `exports` table:
```php
$table->morphs('user');
```
Then, in a service provider's `boot()` method, you should call `Export::polymorphicUserRelationship()` to swap the `user()` relationship on the `Export` model to a `MorphTo` relationship:
```php
use Filament\Actions\Exports\Models\Export;
Export::polymorphicUserRelationship();
```
## Limiting the maximum number of rows that can be exported
To prevent server overload, you may wish to limit the maximum number of rows that can be exported from one CSV file. You can do this by calling the `maxRows()` method on the action:
```php
use App\Filament\Exports\ProductExporter;
use Filament\Actions\ExportAction;
ExportAction::make()
->exporter(ProductExporter::class)
->maxRows(100000)
```
## Changing the export chunk size
Filament will chunk the CSV, and process each chunk in a different queued job. By default, chunks are 100 rows at a time. You can change this by calling the `chunkSize()` method on the action:
```php
use App\Filament\Exports\ProductExporter;
use Filament\Actions\ExportAction;
ExportAction::make()
->exporter(ProductExporter::class)
->chunkSize(250)
```
As well as allowing a static value, the `chunkSize()` method also accepts a function to dynamically calculate it. You can inject various utilities into the function as parameters.
## Changing the CSV delimiter
The default delimiter for CSVs is the comma (`,`). If you want to export using a different delimiter, you may override the `getCsvDelimiter()` method on the exporter class, returning a new one:
```php
public static function getCsvDelimiter(): string
{
return ';';
}
```
As well as allowing a static value, the `csvDelimiter()` method also accepts a function to dynamically calculate it. You can inject various utilities into the function as parameters.
You can only specify a single character, otherwise an exception will be thrown.
## Customizing XLSX files
### Styling XLSX rows
If you want to style the cells of the XLSX file, you may override the `getXlsxCellStyle()` method on the exporter class, returning an [OpenSpout `Style` object](https://github.com/openspout/openspout/blob/4.x/docs/documentation.md#styling):
```php
use OpenSpout\Common\Entity\Style\Style;
public function getXlsxCellStyle(): ?Style
{
return (new Style())
->setFontSize(12)
->setFontName('Consolas');
}
```
If you want to use a different style for the header cells of the XLSX file only, you may override the `getXlsxHeaderCellStyle()` method on the exporter class, returning an [OpenSpout `Style` object](https://github.com/openspout/openspout/blob/4.x/docs/documentation.md#styling):
```php
use OpenSpout\Common\Entity\Style\CellAlignment;
use OpenSpout\Common\Entity\Style\CellVerticalAlignment;
use OpenSpout\Common\Entity\Style\Color;
use OpenSpout\Common\Entity\Style\Style;
public function getXlsxHeaderCellStyle(): ?Style
{
return (new Style())
->setFontBold()
->setFontItalic()
->setFontSize(14)
->setFontName('Consolas')
->setFontColor(Color::rgb(255, 255, 77))
->setBackgroundColor(Color::rgb(0, 0, 0))
->setCellAlignment(CellAlignment::CENTER)
->setCellVerticalAlignment(CellVerticalAlignment::CENTER);
}
```
### Styling XLSX columns
The `makeXlsxRow()` and `makeXlsxHeaderRow()` methods on the exporter class allow you to customize the styling of individual cells within a row. By default, the methods are implemented like this:
```php
use OpenSpout\Common\Entity\Row;
use OpenSpout\Common\Entity\Style\Style;
/**
* @param array $values
*/
public function makeXlsxRow(array $values, ?Style $style = null): Row
{
return Row::fromValues($values, $style);
}
```
When a user exports, they can choose which columns to export. As such, the `$this->columnMap` property may be used to determine which columns are being exported and in which order. You can replace `Row::fromValues()` with an array of `Cell` objects, which allow you to style them individually using [OpenSpout `Style` objects](https://github.com/openspout/openspout/blob/4.x/docs/documentation.md#styling). A `StyleMerger` can be used to merge the default style with the custom style for a cell, allowing you to apply additional styles on top of the default ones:
```php
use OpenSpout\Common\Entity\Cell;
use OpenSpout\Common\Entity\Row;
use OpenSpout\Common\Entity\Style\Style;
use OpenSpout\Writer\Common\Manager\Style\StyleMerger;
/**
* @param array $values
*/
public function makeXlsxRow(array $values, ?Style $style = null): Row
{
$styleMerger = new StyleMerger();
$cells = [];
foreach (array_keys($this->columnMap) as $columnIndex => $column) {
$cells[] = match ($column) {
'name' => Cell::fromValue(
$values[$columnIndex],
$styleMerger->merge(
(new Style())->setFontUnderline(),
$style,
),
),
'price' => Cell::fromValue(
$values[$columnIndex],
(new Style())->setFontSize(12),
),
default => Cell::fromValue($values[$columnIndex]),
},
}
return new Row($cells, $style);
}
```
### Customizing the XLSX writer
If you want to pass "options" to the [OpenSpout XLSX `Writer`](https://github.com/openspout/openspout/blob/4.x/docs/documentation.md#column-widths), you can return an `OpenSpout\Writer\XLSX\Options` instance from the `getXlsxWriterOptions()` method of the exporter class:
```php
use OpenSpout\Writer\XLSX\Options;
public function getXlsxWriterOptions(): ?Options
{
$options = new Options();
$options->setColumnWidth(10, 1);
$options->setColumnWidthForRange(12, 2, 3);
return $options;
}
```
If you want to customize the XLSX writer before it is closed, you can override the `configureXlsxWriterBeforeClosing()` method on the exporter class. This method receives the `Writer` instance as a parameter, and you can modify it before it is closed:
```php
use OpenSpout\Writer\XLSX\Entity\SheetView;
use OpenSpout\Writer\XLSX\Writer;
public function configureXlsxWriterBeforeClose(Writer $writer): Writer
{
$sheetView = new SheetView();
$sheetView->setFreezeRow(2);
$sheetView->setFreezeColumn('B');
$sheet = $writer->getCurrentSheet();
$sheet->setSheetView($sheetView);
$sheet->setName('export');
return $writer;
}
```
## Customizing the export job
The default job for processing exports is `Filament\Actions\Exports\Jobs\PrepareCsvExport`. If you want to extend this class and override any of its methods, you may replace the original class in the `register()` method of a service provider:
```php
use App\Jobs\PrepareCsvExport;
use Filament\Actions\Exports\Jobs\PrepareCsvExport as BasePrepareCsvExport;
$this->app->bind(BasePrepareCsvExport::class, PrepareCsvExport::class);
```
Or, you can pass the new job class to the `job()` method on the action, to customize the job for a specific export:
```php
use App\Filament\Exports\ProductExporter;
use App\Jobs\PrepareCsvExport;
use Filament\Actions\ExportAction;
ExportAction::make()
->exporter(ProductExporter::class)
->job(PrepareCsvExport::class)
```
### Customizing the export queue and connection
By default, the export system will use the default queue and connection. If you'd like to customize the queue used for jobs of a certain exporter, you may override the `getJobQueue()` method in your exporter class:
```php
public function getJobQueue(): ?string
{
return 'exports';
}
```
You can also customize the connection used for jobs of a certain exporter, by overriding the `getJobConnection()` method in your exporter class:
```php
public function getJobConnection(): ?string
{
return 'sqs';
}
```
### Customizing the export job middleware
By default, the export system will only process one job at a time from each export. This is to prevent the server from being overloaded, and other jobs from being delayed by large exports. That functionality is defined in the `WithoutOverlapping` middleware on the exporter class:
```php
public function getJobMiddleware(): array
{
return [
(new WithoutOverlapping("export{$this->export->getKey()}"))->expireAfter(600),
];
}
```
If you'd like to customize the middleware that is applied to jobs of a certain exporter, you may override this method in your exporter class. You can read more about job middleware in the [Laravel docs](https://laravel.com/docs/queues#job-middleware).
### Customizing the export job retries
By default, the export system will retry a job for 24 hours, or until it fails with 5 unhandled exceptions, whichever happens first. This is to allow for temporary issues, such as the database being unavailable, to be resolved. You may change the time period for the job to retry, which is defined in the `getJobRetryUntil()` method on the exporter class:
```php
use Carbon\CarbonInterface;
public function getJobRetryUntil(): ?CarbonInterface
{
return now()->addHours(12);
}
```
You can read more about job retries in the [Laravel docs](https://laravel.com/docs/queues#max-job-attempts-and-timeout).
#### Customizing the export job backoff strategy
By default, the export system will wait 1 minute, then 2 minutes, then 5 minutes, then 10 minutes thereafter before retrying a job. This is to prevent the server from being overloaded by a job that is failing repeatedly. That functionality is defined in the `getJobBackoff()` method on the exporter class:
```php
/**
* @return int | array | null
*/
public function getJobBackoff(): int | array | null
{
return [60, 120, 300, 600];
}
```
You can read more about job backoff, including how to configure exponential backoffs, in the [Laravel docs](https://laravel.com/docs/queues#dealing-with-failed-jobs).
### Customizing the export job tags
By default, the export system will tag each job with the ID of the export. This is to allow you to easily find all jobs related to a certain export. That functionality is defined in the `getJobTags()` method on the exporter class:
```php
public function getJobTags(): array
{
return ["export{$this->export->getKey()}"];
}
```
If you'd like to customize the tags that are applied to jobs of a certain exporter, you may override this method in your exporter class.
### Customizing the export job batch name
By default, the export system doesn't define any name for the job batches. If you'd like to customize the name that is applied to job batches of a certain exporter, you may override the `getJobBatchName()` method in your exporter class:
```php
public function getJobBatchName(): ?string
{
return 'product-export';
}
```
## Authorization
By default, only the user who started the export may download files that get generated. If you'd like to customize the authorization logic, you may create an `ExportPolicy` class, and [register it in your `AuthServiceProvider`](https://laravel.com/docs/authorization#registering-policies):
```php
use App\Policies\ExportPolicy;
use Filament\Actions\Exports\Models\Export;
protected $policies = [
Export::class => ExportPolicy::class,
];
```
The `view()` method of the policy will be used to authorize access to the downloads.
Please note that if you define a policy, the existing logic of ensuring only the user who started the export can access it will be removed. You will need to add that logic to your policy if you want to keep it:
```php
use App\Models\User;
use Filament\Actions\Exports\Models\Export;
