Get course roster

The third item on the Configuration menu allows you to retrieve a list of the students in your class

The main reason you would want such a file is for use within a spreadsheet program, such as Microsoft's Excel, for managing grades.

When you click on the link, Manhattan immediately sends you the text file. A "Save File" dialog box will pop up on your web browser. The name of the file will be same as the name your server administrator chose to identify your classroom on the server, followed by the extension .txt.

As indicated in the menu item's description, the file is a plain text file that provides the Student ID and full name for each student. For example:

"83763363"    "John Adams"
"93847377"    "Martha Banes"
"93837744"    "Cindy Cyndilia"

The format of the file, with the Student ID numbers in the first column, allows you to easily create a spreadsheet file to support Manhattan's Grades module. The Grades module is covered in detail in The Grades Module, which includes an explanation on how to import a roster file into a Microsoft Excel.
