The Outcome Details Report / Exporting Outcomes

Overview

For a comprehensive look at outcomes created at any level of the institution*, Planning & Self Study features the Outcome Details Report. This is a CSV export that includes the following data points:

  • Outcome Title and Description
  • Time signatures for outcome creation and most recent update
  • Information for the Organization and Leads that created the outcome
  • The Outcome Set Title, with the total number of outcomes in set
  • Whether the outcome is currently archived
  • Multiple indicators for outcome mapping/tagging/inclusion on Curriculum Maps
  • Multiple indicators for Plan inclusion/assessment 

*For the purposes of this article, "organizational-level outcomes" refers to any outcomes created by a program, department, division, etc. This is to distinguish them from course-level outcomes.
