This may not be necessary if EdSmart is set up to automatically sync from your Student Management System nightly. Please contact your school ICT team to confirm if data is syncing into EdSmart, or contact EdSmart Support for assistance. See this article for more information: School Data Management in EdSmart. |
Step 1 - Prepare your import file
...
The first row of the file must contain field names (you can name the fields however you like, you'll have an opportunity to map those fields to fields in ParentPaperwork EdSmart in a moment).
Step 2 - Select File
Click on your user name at the top right of EdSmart, and click Import Data from the drop down menu.
- Select Type of Data as 'Students'
- Select whether you wish to deallocate all Students from the Student Lists in this import. This means that any students currently allocated to a Student List for which data is now being import, but who are not in the import, or who are in the import but not allocated to the Student List in the import, will no longer be allocated to the List
- Click the green 'Select File' button.
- Pick your CSV file.
- The file will be automatically uploaded.
...
- You need to map the fields in your file to fields in ParentPaperworkEdSmart. For Student records you must have:
- Student Id (a unique identifier for the Student)
- Class Name (the Student List the Student will be allocated to)
- First Name
- Last Name
- Email (optional)
Using the drop down lists next to each field, select the correct field from your import file, then click Next.
...
A message will display telling you that the import is in progress. An email will be sent to you when the Student data has been imported, normally this only takes a few minutes.
