From the left-hand menu, you'll need to select 'Exports' (1) and in the 'Registers' section (2), choose the 'Staff Register CSV Export' option (3). On the export page you just need to choose what date range you want covered by the CSV (1). By default it will be for the month you are currently in, but you can set the range as whatever works best for you. Then just click on the 'Generate CSV' button (2). The CSV will then be downloaded to your browser or device. When you open the download it will look something like this: So, that's how to export staff register data as a CSV.

New setup screens
From today, when a new account is logged into for the first time or when a new manager first logs into an existing Tapestry, they will see a 'setup checklist'. This is a list of some of the most important elements of a Tapestry account e.g. Features, user permissions, and contact details. New managers should check they are all set up in the way that works best for their school, early years setting, or childminding business. All the items in the checklist are available in the control panel. -
