# Bulk Export File

The purpose of this is to enable your printers to know whether to print a bill or not without requiring any back office eBilling functionality. It contains the details of everyone registered for a given department and:

* The account number they're linked to
* The notification types&#x20;
* Whether they are opted into eBilling/eNotifications
* Whether their opt in method was Email (standard), Email (GOV.UK Notify), Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp

To se this up, within OneVu Control > Data Silos > Connection Settings there was a third setting on top of those just discussed in the last section. This is:

**Notification extract file path**

You simply enter the location where you want the file to be saved - the only caveats are:

* The location is in UNC format i.e. \\\server\location\\
* The location is accessible to the integration proxy service which is responsible for enabling communication between OneVu and the back office system

This allows you to set the location for a file to be output on a daily basis that contains the details of whether account holders have opted in/out of ebilling/enotifications or not.&#x20;

A file is output:

* per silo (and so the location can be different for each output file if desired)
* at the same time every day\*

\*The time of day is controlled by IEG4 and as such is set up as a part of your implementation of this functionality.&#x20;

The following is an excerpt from the CSV output file for Council Tax:&#x20;
