# ExportFormat

> ExportFormat enumerator — the formats available for files exported from a Custom activity or via External Export.

`ExportFormat` specifies the format of exported files sent to the external system.

## Default formats

Formats available in a Custom activity by default (format names identical to those used in scripts):

| Format         | Description                                                                                                                                                                           |

## Custom export formats

When a Custom activity is used as External Export, scripts can only access output files created by the [Output activity](/vantage/documentation/skill-designer/process/output-activity/output-activity). The following additional formats are available:

| Format         | Description                                                                                                                                                                           |
