If I request a data export for multiple devices, and select ‘concatenate all devices into a single file’, I have the option to include a column for device ID. Would it be possible to add the option to include a column for device name? It would make things easier when sending data to clients (the device ID isn’t a useful identifier for them). Or is this already possible?  
Thanks,  
Allan.

Not gonna lie, I was kind of shocked that we didn’t have that option already.

I’ll file a feature request. With luck we’ll have it in our late August release but I can’t promise that quite yet. Thanks for the suggestion.
