Exports & Reports

Loggistics can export your data in several formats for sharing with stakeholders, GIS analysts, and buyers. All exports pull live data — every download reflects what is in your account at that moment.

Dashboard Report (PDF)

The dashboard report is a single-page PDF summary of your operation designed to be shared with stakeholders who don’t use Loggistics — architects, developers, municipalities, grant committees, or anyone asking “how much wood have you recovered?”

What’s included

At-a-glance summary bar — tree removals, logs tracked, boards produced, board feet available, and boards sold at a glance
Activity Summary — each metric with a plain-English description of what it represents
Current Inventory Status — what is in the yard, drying, available for sale, and sold as of the download date
Chain of Custody Documentation — percentage of milling sessions, drying charges, and transport events that carry USRW-certified documentation

The report header includes your organization name and any contact details you have set in Settings → Organization.

How to download

Go to your Dashboard
Click Download Report in the top-right corner of the page
The PDF opens or saves immediately — no configuration needed

The Download Report button only appears once your account has at least one record. Nothing to export on an empty account.

Sources GIS CSV

The GIS CSV export produces a comma-separated file of all your source records formatted for direct import into GIS software such as QGIS, ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online, and Google Maps. Each source appears as one row with separate latitude and longitude columns.

Coordinate system

All coordinates are exported in EPSG:4326 — WGS 84 (decimal degrees). This is the standard used by GPS devices, Google Maps, and most GIS platforms. A coordinate_system column on every row identifies this explicitly so the file is self-describing.

Columns

Column	Description
`source_number`	Loggistics source ID (e.g. `SRC-004`)
`latitude`	Decimal degrees, WGS 84
`longitude`	Decimal degrees, WGS 84
`coordinate_system`	Always `EPSG:4326 WGS84`
`location_accuracy`	How the coordinates were captured (GPS device, photo EXIF, manual, etc.)
`address`	Street address as entered
`species`	Tree species common name
`dbh_inches`	Diameter at breast height in inches
`removal_reason`	Why the tree was removed
`removal_date`	ISO 8601 date (YYYY-MM-DD)
`contractor_name`	Arborist or contractor name
`contractor_type`	Contractor classification
`authorization_ref`	Permit or authorization reference number
`log_count`	Number of logs recovered from this source
`status`	Current source status (Planned / Active / Complete)
`backstory`	Tree story and provenance notes
`public_url`	Public-facing URL for this source record
`record_created`	Date the record was created in Loggistics

Encoding

The file uses UTF-8 with BOM. The byte-order mark ensures ArcGIS, Excel, and QGIS all detect the encoding correctly — without it, special characters in species names and addresses can display as garbled text.

How to download

Go to Sources
Click the Export button in the page header
Select GIS CSV (EPSG:4326)
The file downloads as sources-gis-YYYY-MM-DD.csv

The export includes all sources in your account. There is no per-source selection — filter within your GIS software after import.

Importing into QGIS

Open the Data Source Manager

Go to Layer → Add Layer → Add Delimited Text Layer (or press Ctrl+L).

Select the CSV file

Browse to your downloaded file. QGIS should auto-detect the delimiter as comma and the encoding as UTF-8.

Set the geometry fields

Set X field to longitude and Y field to latitude. Set the Geometry CRS to EPSG:4326.

Add the layer

Click Add. Your sources will appear as point features on the map.

Importing into ArcGIS Pro

Use the XY Table to Point tool

In the Geoprocessing pane, search for XY Table to Point.

Configure the tool

Set the input table to your CSV file, X Field to longitude, Y Field to latitude, and the coordinate system to GCS WGS 1984 (EPSG:4326).

Run

Click Run. A new point feature class is created in your project geodatabase.

Species Yield Chart (PNG)

The species yield chart shows how your board feet of lumber breaks down by species across your entire inventory. It is a donut chart with each species as a colored slice, sized by total board feet milled.

What’s included

Donut chart with one slice per species (species below 3% of total are grouped into an Other slice)
Center label showing the total board feet across all species
Full breakdown table listing every species with board feet and percentage — including individual entries for species in the Other group, marked with (other)
Date generated in the subtitle
Organization branding in the footer

Hover interaction

Hover your pointer over the pie chart to see species details — each slice shows the species name, board feet, and percentage in a readout above the chart. The readout area never overlaps the chart.

How to download

Go to Inventory
Click the Export button in the page header
Select Species Yield Chart
The chart page opens showing your current data
Click Download PNG in the top-right corner
The file saves as species-yield-YYYY-MM-DD.png at 2× resolution (suitable for print and presentations)

The chart only shows species for boards that have board feet recorded. Boards without a board feet measurement are excluded from the totals.
