Importing a Class Roster Through the Wizard
The Import Class Roster Wizard is a three-step process that allows advanced import mapping of a text file to the Test
Manager's Student Information.
1 Step 1:
a Set the row number to start importing student roster
records.
l
Use the Preview window to view the first 10
rows of the text file. The row numbers are
included in the preview.
l
Many text rosters contain header
information, a row of labels for each data
column. Do not import the header row.
l
If the desired import starting point is more
than 10 rows into file, it is recommended that
you delete the unnecessary rows from the
file prior to import.
b Indicate how the student names are formatted in
the text file by selecting the appropriate radio
button.
c Click Next.
2 Step 2:
a Drag the names of field that you want to import from
the text file to the target boxes next to the
corresponding Test Manager field name. Field
names not dragged into a target box will not be
imported.
l
Student name and Student ID fields are
required for import, all other fields are
optional.
l
Student IDs must be unique for the record to
successfully import. If a duplicate ID is
found in the existing class or within the text
file, that record will not be imported. A status
message at the end of the import process
will report if any records were skipped and
how many were skipped.
l
Field names can be dragged to more than one target box. For example, the student's last name can be
mapped to both Last Name and Password.
b Use the arrow buttons to advance or reverse the contents being previewed.
The preview is updated in both the Source Text Fields list and in the import target boxes. This is a useful tool for
verifying that the desired import data is mapped to the proper Test Manager category.
c Click Next.
