*   In the _Export Bill Payments_ popup, complete the following fields:
    *   **Select Module:** By default, the module will be **Bill Payments**.
    *   **All Bill Payments or a Specific Period:** Choose **All Bill Payments** to include all your payments in Zoho Books in the export, or **Specific Period** to export payments created within a specific date range. If you select **Specific Period**, set the **Start Date** and **End Date** to export payments created during that time frame.
    *   **Export Template:** Choose a template to customise the format and columns for your export. Choose a template from the dropdown to export the file with your chosen fields. To create a new template, click **\+ New Template** from the dropdown.
    *   **Decimal Format:** Choose how the currency values for the payments will be exported.
    *   **Export File Format:** Choose the format (**CSV**, **XLS**, or **XLSX**).
    *   **Include Sensitive Personally Identifiable Information (PII) while exporting:** Check this to include sensitive details, such as custom fields if you’ve created and used any that contain sensitive information accessible only to admins of your organisation in the export.
    *   **File Protection Password:** Enter a password to lock the file.
