Exporting transcripts and activity reports

SimChat lets you export transcripts and activity data for assessment records, portfolios and reporting. You do this from Activity → Sessions in the sidebar.


Owners and administrators can export the whole organisation. Cohort leads and assessors export the cohorts they staff, from My cohorts → Sessions. Learners can export their own session history from My activity.


Bulk exports need a paid plan. On the free plan the Export button simply returns you to the Sessions page.


Exporting a single transcript


  1. Go to Activity → Sessions
  2. Open the session you want
  3. Export the transcript as a PDF or as plain text


The PDF includes the transcript along with the score and feedback for that session. Single transcripts are not restricted by plan.


Bulk exports


Above the sessions table there is a start date, an end date, a format dropdown and an Export button. Set the date range, choose a format, then select Export:


  • Spreadsheet - an Excel workbook with an overview sheet and one sheet per conversation containing the full transcript. Best for your own analysis
  • Transcript files - a ZIP of plain-text transcripts, one file per session. Best for portfolio submissions and external reporting
  • PDF report - a summary of usage over the period


The export respects the filters you have applied, so filtering by cohort or scenario first gives you exactly the sessions you want. The Hide staff switch also applies, which is useful when you don't want your own test runs in an assessment record.


Exporting people rather than sessions


  • Users page - Export users downloads your learner list with their cohorts, matching whatever filters are applied
  • Staff page - Export staff does the same for staff members
  • Cohorts - Export cohort on a cohort's page downloads its users and staff, including sub-cohort learners and inherited staff, with a column saying which cohort each row comes from


Curriculum coverage exports


Curriculum coverage reports are exported separately, as Excel or PDF, from the coverage page. See Tracking curriculum coverage.
