Attempts table & exports
How to export attempts data from Synap using the global or specific attempts table
The attempts table allows you to search for, sort and filter attempts ready to view or export to CSV. Use Settings> User Access > Admins to enable the global attempts table for admins to be accessed by the main menu.
Find the attempts table for specific content on: Exams, Collections, User Groups, and Assignments
Origin and additional filters
Use the initial filter to set the origin for the attempts that you're searching for, the origin can be anywhere a user has taken the attempt : Exams, Collections, Assignments and Quizzes. Then you can select the specific content to search for.
| Origin | Description |
|---|---|
Exam | Returns all attempts for a specific exam set to a specific user group |
Collection | Returns all attempts across all possible user groups that have access to a collection, additional user group filters can be added to specify one or multiple specific user groups |
Assignment | Returns all attempts for a specific assignment, set to a specific user group |
Quiz | Returns all attempts for a quiz which has been taken across one or multiple collections (excludes exam attempts which uses the same source quiz) |
Once the origin is set, additional filters will become available to add into your searching criteria. Note you can select multiple filters to create an OR query, the example below is searching for attempts from users in Springfield Elementary or Admins user group on the Quiz for Analytics.
Additionally use the User filter to specify one or more particular user's attempts
Once you've built your query, click the search button to see the attempts.
Finding the attempts table
The attempts table can be found on on the following places on Synap:
The attempts table works the same way no matter where you access it from, the only thing that changes is what group or content is selected.
The Attempts will be limited to ones Users have accessed via the Group you are looking at. For example, Exams set to that group. If a User is set an Exam as part of a different Group, Attempts on that Exam will not display in the group you are looking at
Dates / Times
Use the time filter to set a date or a date range when an attempt was either started, completed or created. Use the date picker to select a single date and time or a range, select again and delete to clear.
Completed at - When the user completed the attempt
Started at - When the user started the attempt
Created at - When the attempt was created. For Collections and Assignments this will be the same as the 'Started at' date but for Exams it will be when the Exam was Scheduled (if the User was in the Group at the time) or when they were added to the Group (if after the Exam was Scheduled)
