How to Extract data from a standard report

In order to extract the data from a specific report rather than from the Person extract reports follow these steps.

Select the report (for most users this will be a person list) and set it up as though you were going to print it.
On the final step before clicking the “print” button, click the small arrow to the right of the print button as shown below. this will cause a sub-menu to display. Select the option “Export data.”
Once you select this option the familiar “Export” dialog boxes will appear giving you the options of where to save the file on your computer, what to name the file, and which fields to include. (For more information on exporting data from Toolbox, please see NUWS support article Extracting Raw Data from the Toolbox.) By default the export fields selected for export will be all the fields that make up the reprot. You may wish to remove some of these fields to simplify the raw data you will be working with.
