Tips for formatting CSV files for importing class lists
The following is the general format you should use for CSV files:
The order of the columns isn't important, but the first row must contain the column headings
identifying what's in each column.
l
You must have a column with the heading ID Number.
o You must put a single space between ID and Number.
o In place of ID Number, you can use ID, Student ID or Number.
o If you don't use a correct column name for the ID Number, the software is unable to
import the list.
