About the CSV Report

In Camtasia 2022 and earlier versions, if you selected the Report quiz results through email option during export, you receive the results through email via the Camtasia Quiz Service. Click the link in the email and follow the steps to download the CSV reports: Summary and Detailed.

The Summary CSV report contains a total score and percentage for each person, per video. If a video has several quizzes, the summary report combines the scores from all quizzes in the video to give one overall score.

• The Detailed CSV report contains a time stamp, detailed question/answer scores, text field entries, and more.
• The reports are in a comma delimited CSV text file format. This format is best viewed in a program that allows you to manipulate data in columnar format such as Microsoft Excel or Google Spreadsheets.
• Reports are sent once each day. No reports are sent if there is no new data collected.
• Reports aggregate data. Each report contains both old and new data.
• You cannot unsubscribe from the Quiz Service. To stop getting reports, request users not to take the quiz or remove the video from a shared location.
• You cannot change the reporting email address.
