When you’re exporting data from the admin dashboard you receive a message when the export is complete. However neither the message, nor the file, contain any indication of what that data is (“Posts” or “Topics” or “New Users” or whatever):

 ![Capto_Capture 2017-10-25_12-48-41_](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/b/c/bc7013922f0a4257215019a3d9d5b41d1b611861.png)

As a result, if you run multiple exports, you’ll receive multiple messages without knowing which file corresponds to which data.

**It would be useful if the type of data is indicated in the message title and the filename.**
