 Exporting coordinates in GPS format

Hello everyone. A few months ago when I exported the workspace data (via trimble connect online) in CSV, it would use columns with longitude and latitude. 

I just exported the data recently, and noticed it is now in XYZ columns. I did look up support threads and it was mentioned to edit the settings when first creating the workspace but I've tried a few settings and still when I export, it will still only show location via XYZ.

Would someone be able to point out to me what I am doing wrong?

Mitesh,

Sorry for the late reply here. I trust that you've already figured this out but it's likely due to your map workspace being in a project coordinate system versus geographic. If you want the lat/long/h, you would need to ensure that your TerraFlex Map workspace is in Lat Long geographic. Also, just this week, Trimble added a X, Y, and Z auto field that will populate as an attribute so that you can see your coordinates on a feature in the field. Also, it will show up upon export to shapefile and GDB versus only with CSV.
