The Upload Users File option allows you to edit several user accounts at once (for example, changing the usernames for several teachers at a building) by uploading a properly formatted data file in comma separated values (.csv) format. The users file is an append file that updates all fields except the employee ID (Employee_ID).
Important: If
you need to update an employee ID for a teacher who is associated with
students, then you must do both of the following:
* Update the teacher’s
employee ID manually in the system. See Editing
an Existing Individual User Account for instructions on editing the
employee’s user account with the new ID.
* Complete and
upload the teacher-student association file. See Associating
Teachers and Students via File Upload for more instructions on completing
and uploading the teacher-student association file.
Keep in mind the following when editing existing user accounts via file upload:
When possible, make changes to the original file used during the initial user account setup.
This option does not allow you to delete a user account. See Deleting an Existing User Account for more information.
Important: You must have a properly formatted data file to use this option. For instructions on creating a properly formatted data file, see Creating Data Files.
