Data Export-Report Description

Available to users with Account Holder and Administrator roles only. Provides a file in a standard or custom template containing data on test results. 

 

Data Export files are available to users with Account Holder or Administrator roles.

These files contain data for a test event and can be exported as .txt files in the following formats:

  • ASCII Fixed-Width
  • ASCII Tab-Delimited
  • ASCII Comma-Delimited
  • ASCII Pipe-Delimited.

The data is available to be downloaded after a report has been run. To do this, click the link on the report page as shown below.

When you create a Data Export file, you can choose to export it using a standard or a custom format.

The standard format, shown below, details how information is organized in the Data Export file. The sample tab and resulting display are set to Iowa.

The custom template, shown below, allows you to select fields to include, specify the order of the fields, and rename the fields. The sample tab and resulting display are set to Iowa.
