Edit Buildings

Important: When you make changes to buildings through the easyCBM Admin page, remember to change your import file(s) accordingly before you upload and potentially override changes.

For example, if you change the name "Hillvalley" to "Hill Valley" using the Admin page, you must change the name of the building in the 1_users.csv file and the 2_students.csv file from "Hillvalley" to "Hill Valley" before you reload those files. If you do not, you will then have two entries, one for "Hillvalley" and one for "Hill Valley."

Similarly, if you delete a building using the easyCBM Admin page, you must remove the building entry from the import files  (1_users.csv file and  2_students.csv)so you do not re-load it into the system.

The reverse is also true. If you remove a building from an import file, the building entry itself will not be removed from the system until you delete it using the easyCBM interface.

To edit a building:

Click the Admin tab. The Admin page appears.

In the System Settings area, click Buildings Setup. The Edit Buildings page appears.

Navigate to the building you want to edit and click on the building name. The Edit Buildings page appears and displays the data for the building you selected.

Note: If you delete a building, you will need to update the  1_users.csv file and the 2_students.csv file accordingly. See About Data Files for information about formatting and uploading these files.
