In the first part, you will be able to select core user fields and the custom fields you may have created.

**Location of the log file**: This is a relative path, starting at the root of your site. You cannot use "../" in this custom path.\
In the file name, "%Y" will be replaced by the current year, "%m" by the current month number and "%d" by the current day of the month. This can be useful to automatically generate an export of your users each month. You can see the complete list of possible time variables [here](https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strftime.php)
