Quickschools <\/span><\/a>provides an efficient way to add student and teacher information in bulk — by importing information from an excel file. To do this you need to have your data accessible in an Excel file, one with either an “.xls” or “.xlsx” extension. <\/span><\/p>\n

To initiate the import, simply click the <\/span>Import <\/b>button under Students\/Teachers tab:<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

QuickSchools will automatically analyze your file and map commonly-named columns to the fields in QuickSchools. But you can override the mapping as you see fit:<\/span><\/p>\n

You can also use this procedure to update student and teacher records. To update student records, your import file simply needs to contain the student names that match the student names in the system. During the import, when the system finds an existing record for a student on file, it updates the existing record instead of creating a new one. The same goes for updating teacher information via <\/span>Import<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n
