IMPORTING DATA
Clicking the "Import Data" button on the Main Screen will open the "Import Data" window. In this window you can import student, teacher and school information.
There are several option in the "File Type" popup menu. The most common is the "SIMON 3 Import File". Use this option for almost any tab delimited file. You can import data related to schools, teachers, and students. Except for the first field, the fields in your data file can be in any order you like. There is no predefined format to this import type. However, the first field of each line must be one of three "keywords": SCHOOL, TEACHER or STUDENT. Any line in your import file that does not contain one of these keywords in field one will be ignored.
After selecting your import file, the "Import Data" window will appear. Here you can define the fields in your import file and set several options that will govern how your data is imported.
If you have data that is formatted in non-traditional formats, choose "Custom Import" from the "File Type" popup menu. This will allow you to access the custom import features that have been written especially for you by ClearVision Technologies.
