Data Group Label Format Options

When exporting labels, you can choose between two data group label formats:
  • New: The recommended format that organizes data group labels in the parent row for improved structure and performance.
  • Legacy: The previous format that places data group labels in children rows. This option is available for backward compatibility.
The New format is selected by default and is recommended for all new exports. The Legacy format will be removed in a future update.
The data group label format option appears in the export configuration dialog alongside other export settings like format type and workflow stage selection.
