Exporting Exercise Submissions

Exporting Exercise Submissions

Overview

Exporting Exercise Submissions allows you to download a comprehensive CSV file containing all submission data for an exercise. This is useful for offline analysis, reporting, or record-keeping purposes.

The export includes detailed information about each submission, including who submitted it, when it was submitted, scores, attachments, and any comments or notes.


Functionality Breakdown

When you export exercise submissions:

  • A CSV file is generated containing all submissions for the selected exercise

  • The export includes submission metadata (user, date, attempt number)

  • File attachments and recordings are indicated (yes/no)

  • Scores and pass/fail status are included (if the exercise is scored)

  • Notes and comments from reviewers are included

  • Multiple notes per submission are supported (shown as separate columns)

  • The export is sorted by user's last name and submission date

The export service processes submissions asynchronously, so you'll receive a notification when your export is ready to download.

To export exercise submissions, you must:

  • Have permission to view the exercise
