# Raw data report

> Export granular transaction-level logs for awards, budgets, redemptions, logins, surveys, and more.

The raw data report gives Super Admins direct access to transaction-level data across every major platform activity. Unlike the summary dashboards, raw data shows individual records — every award, every redemption, every login — so you can export, analyse, and reconcile data independently.

To access: Navigate to **Admin Hub → Reports → Raw Data**.
