Weighted CSV Report
The Weighted CSV Report provides a csv file that includes the data collected through completed forms. It lists users who completed the form down the side and form items across the top. Inside each cell will be data from the form representing the scale ratings made by those who completed the forms. If your response descriptors include numbers (e.g. 1 - Overall, this instructor is an effective teacher.) note that those numbers will not necessarily be reflected in the csv.
It is important to note that the weighted CSV report was specifically designed to be used in conjunction with items using a rating scale (e.g. grouped items using a rubric), and allows you to create custom weights for scale response descriptors which get reflected in the report. There is currently no way to configure these weights through the user interface and you will need a developers help to assign weights to scale response descriptions in the database. (Developers, you'll need to use the cbl_assessment_rating_scale_responses table.)
If no weights are applied to the scale responses, the report defaults to assign a value of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 to the responses in a left to right order. In effect, the Weighted CSV Report will work best if the rating scale you apply to the items mimics a 0-4 value (e.g. Not Applicable, Strongly Disagree, Disagree, Agree, Strongly Agree).
