Returned Column References

The columns section of the XML document refer to the columsn that will be offered in the Data Export Manager screens. The text of the column name is arbitrary and can be anything, but the <column column="TABLE.FIELD"> portion must refer to a "core" table of powerschool. When in doubt, use column="STUDENTS.ID" Avoid using DCID of any table in the column parameter as it might render the query disabled in DEM (grayed out). If using Students.DCID as arg input validation, use Students.ID instead. Value of the column="" property is not case-sensitive. Having DCID in SQL and in feild access is acceptable.
