How does the Data Export plugin help export data from the myschool database?
Export records such as students, employees, attendance and finance to CSV or XML for backup and analysis.
The Data Export plugin lets you extract data from the myschool database in CSV or XML format, for backup or analysis.
Open Data Export
Go to Menu → Data and Reports → Data Export. The home page lists every export done so far, with its status, model name, file format and export date.

Create a new export
- Click New in the top-right corner.
- Select the data you want to export from the list of options.
- Choose the file format: CSV or XML.
- Schedule the export.

Note: Once you export an option, it becomes available for export again only 30 days after the export date.
Track the export
Open the scheduled jobs page and refresh it until the status changes to Download.
