Exporting data
Last updated 2026-06-08
At a glance
- Who uses it: Anyone who needs AmplifyED data outside AmplifyED — into Excel, a district data warehouse, or a parent inspection request.
- When to use it: Ad-hoc CSV exports for one-off questions; scheduled exports for recurring reports; FERPA dossier for parent requests.
- Permissions required: Facilitators can export their own caseload; admins can export school-wide; district admins can export across schools.
- Navigation path: Reports → any report → Export, plus Reports → Scheduled exports.
Export paths
Ad-hoc CSV
Any report in the Reports section has an Export CSV button in its toolbar. The export honors whatever filter is currently applied (date range, school, facilitator, status). Limit: 10,000 rows per export — narrow filters if you need more.
Scheduled exports (Growth and above)
Have a report delivered automatically:
- Reports → Scheduled exports → New.
- Pick a base report (e.g. Cases overview) and a filter.
- Pick a cadence (weekly, monthly).
- Pick recipients (email addresses; comma-separated for multiple).
- Pick format (CSV or PDF).
- Save. The first delivery goes out at the next cadence boundary.
[SCREENSHOT: reports-scheduled-export-form] Reports → Scheduled exports → New form with weekly cadence selected and two recipients.
Per-student FERPA dossier
For a parent inspection request, use Students → open student → Export record instead of the report exports. This produces a FERPA-formatted ZIP with PDF + CSVs. See FERPA exports.
Audit log export
Filter the audit log, then Export CSV. See Audit reports.
Tips & best practices
- Use scheduled exports for routine deliverables (Monday morning case-load summary) so they happen automatically.
- Choose PDF for human-readable deliverables (board meetings) and CSV for further processing.
- Restrict recipients to monitored district inboxes — exports often contain student names.
Common mistakes
- Emailing a CSV export from a personal inbox to a personal email — that copy is outside the audit trail.
- Setting a scheduled export to a personal email that will churn when staff change roles.

FAQ
Is there a row limit on scheduled exports? Scheduled CSV exports are not capped at 10k like ad-hoc — they paginate as needed. PDF exports are summary-formatted and meant for human reading rather than full-row dumps.
Can I schedule an export to two different recipients on different cadences? Yes — create two scheduled exports with the same base report and different settings.
