For a clean export to occur, the latest reporting results must all be on the main database. If there are no exported classes on the main database, you can either choose to export all classes or a selection of classes.
If the class is incorrectly marked as exported, contact your administrator so that they can:
- Unlock the classes before you continue. See Unlocking exported classes (on page ).
- Update the related settings in Staff Maintenance. See Updating staff members after unlocking exported classes (on page ).
If several staff members are assigned to a class, only one can export all students in the class at a time. If another staff member tries to export the class, it is marked as exported. The staff member cannot export the class until the first staff member has re-imported their changes. However, if some students have been exported, the remaining students can be selected by another staff member.

- Select Module > Assessments > Export Assessments to Your Computer.
The Export Assessments to Your Computer window is displayed.

Note: Synergetic automatically displays your own classes, unless you are a coordinator and have access to another teacher's classes.If you are a coordinator, and have the security clearance to edit other staff member's classes, then the Staff Code and ID fields are be restricted. You can then search for the classes you need to export by staff member. If you are not a coordinator, you can only see your own classes in the list.
