Homeroom Dashboards - Crosswalk to Data Extracts

Where do I find those spreadsheet type Data Extracts?

To help users transitioning from Homeroom Classic to Homeroom Dashboards,

We created a crosswalk for spreadsheet type Data Extracts to assist finding Data Tables*. A crosswalk for chart type Data Extracts found in our Charts Application will be released later.

 * If the Data Table application isn’t displayed in a district’s app selector, email support@schooldata.net. Users also need permission to access the Data Tables application, this is the Application User Role of Datatables User
