Record Information Download

For administrators only, information about all of an organization’s records can now be downloaded as comma-separated values (CSV) for input to spreadsheet applications such as Excel. An extensive list of fields is available with summary and status information from the PRS Home page record list, the Public Site Report, the Planning Report and the PRS Review Comments List page. Additionally, Sponsor, Collaborators, Initial Public Release Date and other fields are available. The additional fields have also been added to the Record Information application program interface (API).
