Database

Hi Stephen,

Have you looked at Database export and Import and export FAQ?

I have also run into a brick wall with regards to something I thought would be a trivial exercise.

I saw the lovely export function/tab in the database activity - something that is a nobrainer for any database - and planned to use this to allow students to export data into an Excel spreadsheet for further processing.

When I tried to enable or show this tab on the students' view of the database I couldn't get it right. I fiddled a bit with 'Override Permissions' for students but I didn't hit on the right button.

Is there a way to show the Database Export tab on the Students' view of the database?

BTW I am using the work-around to copy and paste from the list view - but I would prefer the Export Tab to be enabled for students.

Hello Stephen

I've just hit on the solution for your and my problem. There is an export tab in the teacher's view that can be used but I couldn't enable/show it to my students.

If you overide permissions for students and set the "View presets from all users" to 'allow' the students will also have the Export tab in there view.

This feature is not well documented. Strange that it is not in the "Export" documentation.

Greetings
Marius
