# Downloading indexes

> How to generate and download an index file for a data room

<Info>This feature is only available in Standard Data Rooms.</Info>

The Service allows users and administrators to generate an index file for a data room.
The index file is generated based on the structure and content of the data room when it is generated and observes all user rights that have been set.

This feature is turned on by default but can be disabled by an administrator for certain user groups. See [Customizing user rights](/users-and-user-rights/customizing-user-rights) for more information.

In addition to the visible columns, the index file contains additional hidden columns that include information on file size, file type, upload date and the total path length. The columns may be unhidden in Excel after the index has been created.

## Downloading an index
