    Export Competencies
    Use this screen to generate a Comma Separated Values (CSV) export of all of your active course competencies.  Each line of the export represents a course and includes the course number and related course competencies.  

    Organizations can use this export to upload competencies to other software or integrate WIDS data with other systems.  

    Generate an Export

    • The screen opens in Edit mode. 
    • Choose an active date from the calendar (only active courses on or before the date selected will appear in the report).   Select Generate Export File.  
    • WIDS generates a CSV report.  
    • WIDS reports are saved in the Documents tab, Shared Site Documents screen, Competency Export Files folder.  Use the date to select the correct file. 
    • A CSV report can be opened in spreadsheet software if desired. 

    CSV Report

    The CSV report includes four headers:

    • Unique Identifier:  This represents a unique code WIDS assigns to each course in your WIDS site. It can be useful if you use the data for importing to another system.
    • Course Subject:  Everything before the space in the Course Number field.  If you do not have a blank space in your course number, the whole course number will appear.
    • Course Number:  Everything after the blank space in the Course Number field.  If you do not have a blank space in your course number, the whole course number will appear.
    • Course Competencies:  All of the competencies in the course appear in the field.  They are separated using HTML tags to create an ordered list upon import to another software. 

    Importing the Data 

    Each software will require different steps for uploading the data from the exported file to the receiving software.
