Schedule automatic grade exports (auto-export)

Schedule recurring exports of grade data to an SFTP server. Auto-exports support final grades, grade items, and grading scales.

Before configuring auto-export, ensure the following:

  • Sections are assigned to grading periods.

  • Courses have a course code.

  • Sections have a section code or section school code.

  • Unpublished items are not included in grade exports.

  1. Select Tools and choose School Management.

  2. Select Export.

  3. Select Auto-Export.

  4. Enter SFTP server credentials in the Default SFTP Configurations area. If you use auto-import, the SFTP configuration may be the same.

  5. Select + Export Process.

  6. Configure the export settings. Refer to the Export settings descriptions for more information.

  7. Select Column Headers to choose which columns to include in the export.
