How to export a case as PDF or ZIP

Download a complete case package — including the case summary, attached LPR events, and video clips — as a PDF report or a ZIP archive.

Overview

Corvid cases can be exported as a PDF report or a ZIP archive. Exports run as background jobs so you can keep working while the file is generated — you'll be notified when it's ready to download.

Exporting a case

  1. Open the case you want to export from the Cases section.

  2. Click the Export button in the case header or action menu.

  3. Choose your format:

    • PDF — generates a formatted report with case details, event metadata, and clip thumbnails.

    • ZIP — packages the case data and all attached video clips into a downloadable archive.

  4. Click Export to start the background job.

Downloading the export

Once the export job completes, a notification will appear in your dashboard. You can also access completed exports from the Export Jobs panel:

  1. Click the Export Jobs icon in the top navigation bar.

  2. Find your case export in the list.

  3. Click Download to save the file.

Completed exports can be re-downloaded at any time from the Export Jobs panel as long as the job remains in your history.

Notes

  • Export jobs run in the background — you do not need to keep the case open while it processes.

  • If you navigate away or refresh the page, the export will continue and the completed file will be available in Export Jobs when it finishes.

  • ZIP exports include video clip files and may be large depending on the number of clips attached to the case.
