Student Lists are groups of Students to whom you will be sending Slips. The Lists could be the students' home rooms, the swimming team, the brass band - whatever you like. A Student can be assigned to any one or more of the Student Lists, and you can maintain as many Lists as you like.
Viewing Student Lists
Click the Student Lists option in the main menu on the left of the page to view the Lists. You can change the Sort Order by clicking the Sort By Name button, or search for a particular List by entering keywords in the search box and clicking the search button.
Managing Student Lists via Data Sync
If you have a sync set up from your school's Student Management System, you should manage Lists from there instead, and the changes will reflect in EdSmart after the next sync. See Synching your school's data with EdSmart for more details.
Managing Lists Manually
If you are not able to sync the required lists from your school's data, you can manage Lists in the following ways:
...
Click the blue Edit List button to update the Name and Description of a List.
Importing Lists via CSV
You can also upload Student Lists in bulk via CSV. See this article for more details.

If you use a combination of manual / CSV upload and a data sync, keep in mind that EdSmart updates Lists via data sync if there are updates in the Student Management System to any Lists with the same Name. If you wish that manually created Lists remain static and are not overwritten by a data sync, ensure that they have a unique naming convention that is not used in the Student Management System. |
