It is important to monitor the results of all imports. Spot check the student count on the Student Records page (Community > Student Records) to further ensure the accuracy of your SIS data. A quick way to identify possible duplicates is to sort the list of students by name.
Key Points
• Inaccurate student data can cause inaccurate reporting and delays throughout the FOH operations.
• SIS data should be imported on a regular basis to keep the software updated with current student data.
• Certain student information may be maintained directly in the software if it is not included in a regular import.
• Selecting an integration map applies all settings that are configured for that integration map for consistent, repeatable results.
• Certain fields may be translated during import to accommodate variations in your SIS data.
• Student ID is typically used as the unique, static criteria for matching SIS records to existing student data in the software.
• Separate fields are used for Student ID and PIN Assignment, even when the Student ID is used as the PIN.
• Duplicate records result when a student is imported under two or more Student IDs.
• It is important to monitor the results of all imports into the software.
