Importing your College data

Purpose: This will help you quickly get the system updated with your college's Users, Subject Areas (Courses) and Classes, and Enrollment data. Typically implementation time is greatly reduced when these steps are completed.

We do not have an FTP site or any direct integration with another database system to pull users from another system. Instead we use CSV files uploaded through a utility called Accudemia Data eXchange (ADX) to bring your data over to Accudemia. Use the ADX tool to upload these CSV files pulled or extracted from your college's data warehouses (Banner, DataTel, etc) and here's how:

1. Download and install ADX on the Windows server you would like to schedule these imports to run on.
   Note: The ADX application is a windows-based utility and must be installed on any windows-based server or computer.
2. Create extracted CSV files from your data warehouse to upload into Accudemia. Build the CSV import files of your data from our CSV Sample files that are available online:
   • User Imports
   • Subject Area (Courses) and Class Imports
   • Location Imports
   • Optional Imports
   • Typical Single File Import
3. Once you have the CSV file(s) generated then use ADX to create the Import Jobs necessary to upload the data to Accudemia.
4. Schedule these import jobs to run regularly from the Windows server/computer.
