Add students to your school on the Student Admin page.
Students can be added individually by clicking the 'New' button. You can bulk upload learners by creating a CSV file, which matches the format in this example file. The first 3 columns are mandatory: UPN, First Name and Last Name. Fill in the other columns according you school policy.
Editing Learners
- Select a row in the Learner Table and click the 'Edit' button.
- Inline edit the cells in the Learner Table, by directly clicking on the cell you wish to change. You can move onto the next cell with the Tab key.
- Update learner data in your CSV file and re-upload it. Records are matched and updated by the UPN number. If a UPN number is not supplied or doesn't exist, a new learner record will be created.
Preparing for the New Academic Year
- Add any new learners who've started at your school and don't have existing records.
- Update any existing learners' details. For example, change their registration group. Bulk updates are easy: you can re-upload a CSV, just ensure the UPN numbers don't change.
- We recommend against creating duplicate entries for existing learners who have progressed a year.
- You should not remove any old learners, who've left your school - as you will be unable to access their records. Don't worry, if they're not assigned to a Class in the current Academic Year you won't be charged.
- Create a new set of Classes for the new Academic Year in the Class Admin page and assign learners.
CSV File Upload
- Only CSV files are allowed. You can export these from most SIMS systems or Excel.
- Forename and Surname are required. Other fields are optional.
- The Gender field must contain either M or F.
- The DOB field should be in the format YYYY-MM-DD e.g. 1970-12-31
- Existing learners with matching UPNs will be updated with new fields from the CSV file.
