# Export Templates
Export templates are used to render arbitrary data from a set of NetBox objects. For example, you might want to automatically generate a network monitoring service configuration from a list of device objects. See the [export templates documentation](../../customization/export-templates.md) for more information.
## Fields
### Name
The name of the export template. This will appear in the "export" dropdown list in the NetBox UI.
### Content Type
The type of NetBox object to which the export template applies.
### Data File
Template code may optionally be sourced from a remote [data file](../core/datafile.md), which is synchronized from a remote data source. When designating a data file, there is no need to specify local content for the template: It will be populated automatically from the data file.
### Template Code
Jinja2 template code for rendering the exported data.
### MIME Type
The MIME type to indicate in the response when rendering the export template (optional). Defaults to `text/plain`.
### File Name
The file name to give to the rendered export file (optional).
!!! info "This field was introduced in NetBox v4.3."
### File Extension
The file extension to append to the file name in the response (optional).
### As Attachment
If selected, the rendered content will be returned as a file attachment, rather than displayed directly in-browser (where supported).
