Bulk save

Most workflows in Pillar end with "take all the parcels I just found and do something with them." Bulk save is how you bridge from map to list, project, or export.

Three ways to bulk-save#

1. Save your entire filter#

If your filter is dialed in and you want every matching parcel, click Save → Save as list. Give the list a name and choose whether it's dynamic (updates automatically as parcel data changes) or static (a frozen snapshot of today's match set).

This is the most common bulk save — no selecting required.

2. Draw a polygon, then save#

Use the draw tool to constrain to a specific shape, then save. The list captures every parcel whose centroid falls inside the polygon, narrowed by any other active filters.

3. Manually select, then save#

Hold Shift and click each parcel you want to include, or use Select all visible to grab everything in the current viewport. Then click Save → Save selection.

Where bulk-saved parcels go#

Once saved, parcels flow into one of three destinations:

Destination	Use case
List	Long-lived, reusable group of parcels. Best for recurring workflows.
Project	A single deal or site — parcels here show up in the CRM pipeline.
CSV export	One-shot export for use outside Pillar.

You can always move parcels between destinations later.

Export formats#

When exporting to CSV, Pillar writes one row per parcel with all indexed attributes, plus the owner's mailing address if skip tracing has been run. Columns are stable — you can wire up a repeating pipeline against the CSV schema.

Geospatial formats are available for customers on annual plans:

• GeoJSON
• Shapefile (.zip)
• KML (for Google Earth)

Parcel geometry in exports is the pc_point_wkt centroid, not the full polygon, for the same reason parcel search uses centroids.

Limits#

• Selection size — up to 10,000 parcels per saved list.
• Export size — CSV up to 100,000 rows; larger exports are emailed as a download link.
• Skip trace batch — up to 5,000 parcels at once. For larger batches, split the list.
