Why is my student's activity log file damaged?

In this article, you will find out why your students' activity log file is damaged.

You will need:

• A systeme.io account
• A course
• A student

In case you export the activity log of a student, and you find the file damaged, you must first make sure that you have not used special characters, such as emojis, in the title of the course, a chapter, or a module, because the (.xls) format does not support these characters.

For that reason, Excel does not know how to display these symbols and displays an error message when reading the file.

As a result, it is not recommended to use special characters in the title of a course, lecture, or module.
