Working with the Export Builder

SlideRoom offers several ways to export its application data:

  • Spreadsheet Exports: With this option, you can select the data points of your choice and order them however you'd like. Files include all selected applicants, and can be exported in Excel, .CSV, .TSV, or .TXT formats.
  • PDF Exports: With this option, you can select the sections of your choice to be exported into a preformatted PDF document. Files include all selected applicants in their own documents.
  • File Exports: With this option, you can select the sections and attachments of your choice to be exported into separate .zip files. Exports include all selected applicants, and each applicant is separated into its own .zip file.
