Put Parents and Parents' Emails on Separate Lines in Student List

The addition of parents and parents' email to the Students list is awesome! That will definitely reduce the number of advanced lists we need to use. Unfortunately, the data is mostly useless when it's on the same line (in the same cell of the export). We want to use this information for mail merges, etc, but we can't. Putting it on separate lines would make it very helpful.

 

Thanks!

    There are several of these: https://blackbaudk12.ideas.aha.io/ideas/K12CO-I-2716

    We have this now for parent cell phones in these list, please implement a similar thing for the emails. There is no rhyme or reason to how it exports parent names and parent email addresses, so there is no great way to tell which email belongs to which parent.

    I agree with this completely.  Right now we can separate it out into different columns, using text to column in excel, but separate lines straight from the system would be way more useful. In the current format, there will still be quite a bit of additional work in excel to make the data useful for the purpose of these types of student lists with parent info.  I was a bit disappointed they hadn't fully thought through our reasons for needing these types of lists and the most useful way to deliver the data in the list for our needs before they added it.
