- The maximum file size allowed to be uploaded is 5 MB.

- It's recommended to split huge files into smaller batches (ex: Split a 50,000 records csv file to three batches).

Terms

•You can import a single or multiple terms to the system which will be a core link to other modules such as groups, students, assessments, results, etc..

Groups

•Groups sections represents a class or a section. You can import groups/classes related to each school and grade.

Users

•In Users section you can import each user to their relevant "Area" and a specific role, whether Student/Admin/AreaAdmin/Parent. The "Admin" role will be further specified based on the access control rules given which can make an Admin a "teacher" or make them a "principal".

•You can choose to sync all the data in the imported sheet, or just sync the updates.

Student Enrollment

•In this section, you can map each student to their respective groups and term based on the SIS enrollment information.

- All text should be UTF-8 encoded.

- SIS IDs should be encoded as UTF-8, and then escaped normally for inclusion in a URL. For instance, the SIS ID CS/101.11e is encoded and escaped CS%2F101%2E11%C3%A9.

- All timestamps are send and returned in ISO 8601 format.

- Data should be provided in CSV formats not in Excel sheets. The attached excel sheets are for clarification purposes, and should be exported to CSV prior to importing into SwiftAssess.
