Scheduling Combined Data File Generation

The Combined Data File is a single data file that contains student-centric information for a specific instructional term (fall, winter, spring or summer) in a specific year, and contains the following information:

• Student-to-school associations for the specified term
• All growth assessment results for students in the specified term

For information about each field in this data export file, see the Combined Data File Reference, available from the bottom of the Data Export Scheduler page.

Required Role

To use the Data Export Scheduler, you must be assigned the following role in the MAP system:

• Assessment coordinator

Steps

To schedule a Combined Data File generation:

1. On the MAP Reports landing page, click Data Export Scheduler.
2. On the Data Export Scheduler page, select Enable.
3. Choose how often you want the report to run (Frequency).
   

4. If you selected a One Time frequency, select the Term to use as the basis for the data file. Otherwise, if you selected a Daily or Weekly frequency, the Term defaults to the current term and cannot be changed.

   IMPORTANT: If you make administrative changes on the same day as the one time export—such as modifying student profiles or changing a test window—then they will not appear in the exported data. Administrative changes do not appear in exports (and reports) until after the nightly process, so an export that occurs before the nightly process will not reflect changes from that day. For this reason, the one-time export is best used for historical data or for exports made early in the day.
5. Select Combined Data File as the Export Type.
6. Click Save.
   The file Status is In Process until it is ready for download.
7. When the file is ready, click Download to open or save the file.
8. Download statuses appear in the table at the bottom of the page. When the file is ready, click Download to open or save the file.
