  1. Open AI → Ask Your Data. Type a question or select a Starter question.
  2. Select Ask. Read the answer, the chart or table, and the What I ran line — the validated plan that was executed, such as count from students grouped by status.
  3. Select CSV to download the rows shown.
  4. Select Save, name the question, and use Run report on the saved row to run the same plan again. Delete report removes it.
  5. Where a result lists learners, Create cases opens an ordinary pastoral case for each of them. Narrow the question to the exact cohort first, read the count in the confirmation, then confirm; the control changes to Cases opened.
