2.3 Exporting Candidate Data

The available biographical data and scores for all candidates in a project, who have given permission to a business user to view/share their data, can be exported as a csv-format file sent to the business-user's email address.

 

This is done by selecting the Candidate Results button in the Projects area:

Clicking on this button shows the available scores for all candidates in the project:

 

Candidate Results_1

 

Then, clicking on the Send results buttonbutton sends the csv data as a zip-file email attachment to the business-user ..

e.g. in Outlook the email will look like:

 

Outlook email_1

 

Outlook email_2

 

Unzipping the file creates a csv file of the same name. As noted in the Terminology section, the csv file is a text file, abl eto be opened with a variety of text editors such as Windows Notepad, or perhaps more conveniently for viewing purposes. opened with Excel or some other spreadsheet handling software.

 

Opening the file with a text editor shows the plain-text, comma-separated structure:

 

csv_text_editor

 

Opening the same file in Excel shows the column structure although not very clearly:

 

csv_excel_unformatted

 

Manually adjusting column widths provides a more readable view:
