Manage My Templates

On this page:

If you export the same data frequently, you can create a template so that you don't have to define the fields, filters and Export Options used every time you perform an export. Once you create a template, the template appears on the My Templates tab. From the My Templates tab, you can easily manage your templates.

Note: Your templates are unique to your account and can be used at any school that you can switch to.

Note: Exports are always run within your current school context. Be careful when saving School ID filters as part of a template as this will prevent the export from exporting data at other schools.
