## Export Command

### DESCRIPTION
### Description
If you are the using highrise for sales, human resources or some other activities, one day you will want to export data from the system. Here is the original article http://bit.ly/sTQr1W, which is describing the process. It's quite easy and works fine, but with highrise_assistexport you can do much better. This tool introduce you possibility to export companies and contacts with all the hierarchy of data including emails, notes, comments, cases, deals and even attachments (with web console you just don't have such possibility) in xml or yaml formats. It is possible to mark exact business objects with the tag and then just export them.

TODO
The use case1:
As user of higrise
I want to archive old contacts and companies
So that my list will be clean

Original help request: http://bit.ly/tIDlwk
What 37signals' team recommends is: "Have you considered adding a tag to those contacts called "archived"?"
With highrise_assistexport you can easily export all the data tagged as "archived", and than just remove data from the system.

The use case2:
As user of higrise
I want to export all my data including attachments
So that I can move data to the other management systems

With highrise_assistexport you can easily do this operation.

## Keep your higrise always clean!
