Overview
The Upload Bulk List menu will provide you the option to create a bulk list of students from a CSV file with some of the student details to be used in any bulk operations in Paradigm.
NOTE
If you can’t find the Upload Bulk List option under the Student menu, you can check with your Paradigm Administrator to enable the option to your site, contact our Support Team, or try to access this option via this link http://institution.edu.net.au/php/bulk_list_from_csv.php, just change the institution part to your assigned business or institution’s domain name.
There are two ways you can upload a source file using this menu:
(1) Bulk List File[5 FIELDS Required] is if you have the details or information of the students with their (1) Course Enrolment Id, (2) Student Number, (3) Student Firstname, (4) Student Lastname, and (5) Program Id in your source file. Refer to the WORKFLOW 1 section below for the instructions.
(2) Bulk List File [Student Numbers ONLY] is if you only have the Student Numbers information in your CSV file. Refer to the WORKFLOW 2 section below for the instructions.
Workflow
Choose WORKFLOW 1 if you have a CSV file with all the five required fields mentioned above, WORKFLOW 2 if you have only the student numbers.
