System properties for display value and header

Use system properties to export the display value or raw value of fields and the field label or field name for headers.

System properties control the output for the CSV, Excel, JSON, and XLSX file formats. System properties define default behavior if overrides such as query parameters are not specified. System properties apply to exported files downloaded with URL parameters, exported from list view, or generated by export sets.

The following table describes each of the system properties that control display values and headers.
