Downloading Files from the Inbox

When searching for users, students, and students' test settings, you can choose to export the search results to the Inbox. The shared Inbox (see Figure 5) serves as a secure repository that lists files containing the data that you have exported in TIDE and other CAI systems. When you choose to export search results to the Inbox, TIDE sends you an email to your email address that is registered in TIDE when the export task is completed and the file is available in the Inbox for download.

The Inbox also lists any secure documents that have been externally uploaded to the Inbox and that you have privileges to view.

• The files in the Inbox are listed in the order in which they were created. The file creation and file expiration dates appear, if applicable.
• The number of days remaining until a file expires is also displayed next to a file. By default, exported files are available for 30 days while secure documents are available for the period specified.
• You can access the Inbox from any page in TIDE to either download or archive files for future reference. You can also delete the files you have exported, provided you have not archived them.

To access files in the Inbox:

1.From the TIDE banner (see Figure 4), select Inbox. The Inbox page appears. By default, TIDE displays the View Documents tab.
