    Student Fields

    A list of fields that can be exported appears. To export a specific field, drag a student field to Export Fields. Repeat this step for all fields included in the report.

    Export Fields

    The list of fields selected for the export appears. To reorder the export fields, drag them either up or down in the Export Fields area to the correct position.

    Field

    Use the pop-up menu to choose the appropriate field delimiter. The delimiter separates the fields (or columns) on the report:

    • Tab
    • Comma
    • Other: Enter the character you want to use to separate the fields.

    Record

    Use the pop-up menu to choose the appropriate record delimiter. The record delimiter separates one record (or row) from the next one on the report:

  5. Click Export to export the data. The Save dialog appears.
  6. Select the folder in which you want to store the file once you set up the export data.
  7. Enter the file name.

    Note: Do not change the ".txt" file name extension.

  8. Click Save.
  9. Open the file using your spreadsheet application.

    Note: The file has a ".txt" extension. You may need to choose All Files from the "File type" pop-up menu.

  10. Select the option to select delimiters.
  11. Click Next.
  12. Select the first column, and click the option to select the data format for the column.
  13. Repeat step 11 for the remaining columns.
  14. Click Finish. The spreadsheet displays the class roster data. Format it as you would any spreadsheet. Set it to print in landscape format or reduce the scaling if it does not fit on the page.

To print the report, choose File > Print. Save the new document as a spreadsheet file type when you close it.
