To extract a list of student information into a tab delimited text file, we will follow a simple two step process:

1. Select the students that you wish to export
2. Use the Quick Export Function for the fields you wish to retrieve

Step 1: Select the students that you wish to export

Selecting students is easy. You can make this selection from the start page using queries or click on the groups that you wish to isolate. You can find out more about making student selections here (Beginner or Intermediate) Once you have the students selected, you will be able to see a pulldown menu to “Select a function for this group of students.” It is here that you can select “Quick Export.”
