Custom Report
Custom Report Menu
The Custom Report Menu provides the means for selecting desired descriptor(s), scales, and minimum score levels to include in the report. It provides users the flexibility to custom build a report that includes only those items meeting user-specified criteria.
To the left of each content area, a checkbox is provided for selecting any one or more of the content areas to include in the report. For some content areas, such as Knowledge and Skills, additional checkboxes are provided under the "Display Cutoff" column. These checkboxes enable the users to specify additional report parameters, such as scale and minimum cutoff values.

Save Table
Each table has a "save table" option that lets you view or download the data as an XLS (Microsoft Excel) or CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file. An XLS file is readable by Microsoft Excel and some other spreadsheet applications. A CSV file contains the values in a table as a series of text lines organized so that each column value is separated by a comma from the next column's value and each row starts a new line. Generally spreadsheet or relational database applications can read CSV files.
Data Collection Information
The data in O*NET OnLine is regularly updated as part of an ongoing data collection program. In the upper right hand corner of the report, a link is provided to information regarding the data source and date of update. (See: Data Collection Information)
