You can import information related to courses, students, staff, programs, attendance, transactions, and more. This feature helps streamline data management, reducing manual entry and ensuring accuracy when handling large datasets.

To begin, click More Actions and select either Import or Update, depending on whether you are adding new data or modifying existing records.

After selecting the import type, click Choose File to select your CSV.

Before finalizing the import, it's recommended to test your data first by clicking the Test Import button.

After running the Test Import, you can check for any errors by reviewing the Test Log. To do this, return to the Imports list and click the View Import icon next to your import.

Here, you can review the log to see if any errors were detected and what needs to be corrected.

This step ensures that any formatting issues or missing fields are addressed before uploading your final file.

Once you've tested your import and confirmed there are no errors, you can proceed with importing the final file. Simply go to More Actions, select the appropriate Import or Update option, choose your CSV file, and click Import.

Once the import is successfully uploaded, it will appear in the Imports list. The data will now be updated in ampEducator, and you can review it to ensure everything has been processed correctly.
