While selecting data for export, you may encounter the 'As Complex type' switch. Activating this allows you to export data in ComplexTypes, a feature in OData.
ComplexTypes are useful for encapsulating more detailed data types within entity properties.

This feature enhances the richness and structure of the exported data.
