Data Formatting

Accudemia offers a flexible and powerful import utility that allows you to have import files with the fields and column order you like. The step-by-step import process will allow you to map your columns thus bypassing the need for separate Import Maps. The import utility, called ADX (Accudemia Data Exchange), can even schedule the import job so it would run automatically in the future.

ADX allows you to import data in several ways. You are free to select the way most convenient to you:

  1. Import from a single file: Most commonly obtained through another systems export that includes all the student, classes, and registration data in it.
  2. Import via separate files: Students data import, classes import, and class registration import.
  3. Do Incremental Import files: These files would only have the latest updates.
  4. Use a Comprehensive Import file: This kind of file stores the entire data set.

The import is usually done via a standard CSV (Comma Separated Values) text file. However, ADX can also be extended by the user to support other formats including direct connection to your student registration system.

To get started, we have prepared some sample import files with possible headers in them. Note that these are only examples and your import files could have different fields and/or field order.

User Imports

These imports are needed to create your different types of Users in their Predefined Roles (Students, Tutors, or Instructors). System Users such as College Administrators and Center Administrators must be created manually in the system and cannot be imported for security reasons. If the ID number matches someone already imported or created in another Security Role then it will simply add the new Role to their Security Roles section. More information about managing Users and their Security Roles can be found here:
User Management

Before importing any users you'll want to first login as an Admin to the institution's website http://<mycollege>.accudemia.net account and setup an ID Format that will be used. Here is more information on how to set the ID format:

Simplified Class Registration Import

It would appear that the import files we show above have a lot of redundant information in them, but realize that if the data is already imported then subsequent imports you can choose to use only the primary key or secondary key to identify that data.

Accudemia Table Accudemia Field Required for Creation Key Field
Classes Class Registration Number (CRN) Required Class Primary Key
Subject Areas Subject Area's name Required Subject Area Primary Key
Users > Students Student's User ID Required Student Primary Key
Terms Term's Name Optional ?
Users > Instructors Instructor's User ID Required Instructor Primary Key
? If you do not specify a Term Name and dates it will import into the current term.

Example: If I normally run first a “student” import and then a “class” import like shown in the above imports. At this point I should have already created my Students, Instructors in the Users Table and the Subject Areas (Courses) & Classes in the database. And now since these items already exist I can simply use their primary keys to reference those items in the future imports. My “Student Registration” import only has to include their primary key fields:
  • Student's User ID
  • Subject Area Name
  • Class Registration Number (CRN)
  • Instructor's User ID
  • Term Name

Location Imports

Typically these imports are considered optional because of the ease it is to manage/create this information within the Accudemia interface. With that stated you can import them and assign courses to the Centers through imports if you prefer.

Guides for Imports

These guides try to walk your through creating special imports that may be needed or explain some complex processes.

Importing Demographic Information

Start by creating the Profile Questionnaire that will be the table these custom fields will be imported into Accudemia:

Create Profile Questionnaire Step-by-Step

Profile answers does not have to be mapped if you are importing from a CSV file. The reason why it works this way is because you can have several questions across different pages.

Instead, profile answers require specific headers. The format of the header is @Profile(Page=X, Question=Y) where X represents the number of the page and Y represents the number of the question to set.

For example, if your profile questionnaire has 2 pages with 3 questions each, you should have 6 columns with the following headers:

  1. @Profile(Page=1, Question=1)
  2. @Profile(Page=1, Question=2)
  3. @Profile(Page=1, Question=3)
  4. @Profile(Page=2, Question=1)
  5. @Profile(Page=2, Question=2)
  6. @Profile(Page=2, Question=3)

Also, you can use a shorter version or the header by not specifying the words “Page” and “Question”, for example @Profile(1,2) for the page #1, question #2.

If you are editing your CSV file with Microsoft Excel, you might receive an error saying “That function is not valid.”. To solve that problem, you need to add a white space before the '@'.

In multiple choice questions, you have to specify the text of the option you want. For example, if the question has the possible answers “Yes”, “No”, “Maybe”, then you can enter the text “Maybe” in your CSV file.

Student Groups from Demographics / Profile

While uploading this information to store on the Students themselves you can also create Student Groups to help the System Admins have highly usable groups based on these demographics to pull reports on in Accudemia. Follow these steps to do this:

  1. Create the import job in ADX.
  2. Map the @Profile(1,1) column (as an example) to “User Groups Name” and be sure to also map the Student ID column to “Students User ID” in ADX.
  3. On the Import Behavior step of the import job wizard be sure to always check the “Remove Users not on this import” option so that the group is updated every-time it is imported. The only time this option will not be necessary if you only import partial files of students.
You can only map one column to the “User's Group Name” in each import so you'll have to create a separate import job for each demographic column you need to create groups from.
Be careful when uploading information using simple answers like “yes”, “no” or using similar codes in multiple columns because these will become the Student Group names.

As an example of this error uploading Student Groups:

If I upload a file with their “In-state Status” of “Yes” and “No” in one column and then upload another file with their “Veteran Status” of “Yes” or “No” it will overwrite the previous “Yes” group created.

As a possible solution when I have a demographic like “Veteran Status” and it has “Yes” or “No” I would simply need to replace all the “yes” answers to “Veteran” and the “No” to “Non-Veteran” so these import into easily identifiable groups in Accudemia.

Tips for Importing Class Schedules

In order to import class schedule, you can start from your class import file which has Subject Area info and classes data. Then add the following columns:

  1. Schedule Days: The day of the week when the class is given, either using a 3 letter abbreviation or using the full day name. For example, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun or Monday, Tuesday, etc. You can multiple days by separating them by a forward slash (/). For example, Mon/Wed/Fri.
  2. Start: The start time of the class, in format “h:mm tt”. Valid examples are: 10:00am, 3:15pm.
  3. End: The end time of the class, in format “h:mm tt”. Valid examples are: 10:00am, 3:15pm.
  4. Classroom: Where the class will be given, it's the name of an existent classroom, such as “A100”, “SCH 5”, etc.

Here's a simple example:

When running the Create Job Wizard in ADX and you want the classrooms to be created automatically when you import, ensure that on General tab of the Importing Behavior step the “Do not Create New Centers/Classrooms automatically” checkbox is unchecked.

How to Import Student Photos

Do you see the guy in the screenshot above? He's the one who brings this new update to the Accudemia users. Since yesterday it's possible to import profile pictures using ADX (the import tool). Let's see how you can do this.

First of all, you need to download and install ADX in your computer. If you already had it installed, then make sure to update to the latest version (click on Help → Check for Updates). Then login with your credentials and create a new import job. You will need to have all the photos and create a new CSV file to tell Accudemia what photo assign to each user.

For example, if you have a folder in your computer with all the photos name like “student_[ID].jpg”, where [ID] is the student number, create a CSV like this:

Then, open ADX and create a new job. You need to select the CSV file and the folder where all your photos are located, as shown here:

Then you need to map the student fields, at least the student number and the photo name, as shown here:

The last step would be to click Next until your job is saved and then run it by clicking on “Run Import Now”.

That's it, now simply login to Accudemia and your photos will be there!

Import Behaviors

This information chosen will determine how the data on the imports will be handled.

General

This area determines how Users and Centers/Classrooms are updated on the import.

Users Information

  • Skip existent users (will not be updated). - This option allows you to import only new students from the updated file you are uploading and it will not even attempt to update students that exist in the Accudemia database.
  • Generate a password for new users. - This option allows you to create a password for your new users. (Unfortunately no one will know this password so this option is now obsolete.)
  • Inactivate students not being imported. - This option helps keep only active students in your Accudemia database based off the ones being imported regularly. This option only helps or is useful when importing the entire student roster.
Must include an “Active” column with “yes”, “true”, or “1” on the imports for this “Inactivate Students” feature to run properly.

Centers and Classrooms

  • Do not create new centers/classrooms automatically. - Selected by default. Uncheck this option if you do want to create new centers and classrooms from the import. Typically if you have a lot of centers or classrooms you need created this will become helpful.

Enrollment/Registration/Assignments

This section determines how you handle Student Enrollment, Instructor Registration, and Tutor Assignments when imported.

Student Enrollment:

  • Overwrite students enrollment. - This setting makes the system update the enrollment for the users being imported. If not checked it will append/add to the classes that the students are enrolled in so this option is strongly recommended during the import of enrollment.
    • Drop all enrollment for students not being imported. - This setting takes the first option of “Overwrite students enrollment” a step further by also dropping student enrollment from any student in the Accudemia database that is not on this current import.
Just for clarification:
  1. If both are NOT checked: the enrollment you import is appended to the one you have in Accudemia. It means that no drops are done at all.
  2. If only “Overwrite students enrollment” is checked: The enrollment for the students being imported will be overwritten. That means that if you import students A and B with their enrollment, Accudemia will drop the existent enrollment for those 2 students and set the one you are importing. Other students not being imported (e.g., students C and D) won’t be touched.
  3. If both options are checked: Before importing anything, all the existent enrollment for the current semester, for all the students will be dropped. Once dropped, the new data will be inserted. That means that if you import enrollment for students A and B only, other students such as C and D will end up with no classes associated.

Instructor Registration:

  • Overwrite instructors registration. - This setting makes the system update the enrollment for the users being imported. If not checked it will append/add to the classes that the instructors are registered for so this option is strongly recommended during the import of enrollment.
    • Drop all assignments for instructors not being imported. - This setting takes the first option of “Overwrite instructors registration” a step further by also dropping instructor registration from any instructor in the Accudemia database that is not on this current import.
Just for clarification:
  1. If both are NOT checked: the registration you import is appended to the one you have in Accudemia. It means that no drops are done at all.
  2. If only “Overwrite instructors registration” is checked: The registration for the instructors being imported will be overwritten. That means that if you import instructors A and B with their registration, Accudemia will drop the existent registration for those 2 instructors and set the one you are importing. Other instructors not being imported (e.g., instructors C and D) won’t be touched.
  3. If both options are checked: Before importing anything, all the existent registration for the current semester, for all the instructors will be dropped. Once dropped, the new data will be inserted. That means that if you import registration for instructors A and B only, other instructors such as C and D will end up with no classes associated.

Tutor Assignments:

  • Append to current assignments - This allows you to import a file with new tutor assignments to add to existing tutor assignments in Accudemia.
  • Overwrite current assignments - This allows you to overwrite with an updated import file with all the tutor assignments in it.
  • Overwrite current assignments and assign all imported tutors to all subject areas (Imported assignments will be ignored) - This will give all tutors in the import file all classes (typically used only if you are uploading a list of tutors and you don't want to have to manage the tutor assignments in Accudemia.

User Groups

This section determines how user groups are updated on import.

  • Remove non-imported users from groups. - This option allows the group to be updated by removing all members of the group and then adding only the ones on the import file. With this option unchecked it will simply append/add members to the group but not remove them.
If you are not importing any one of the above mentioned items in this Importing Behaviors section then the section's behaviors will be ignored when you import your CSV file and the settings can be omitted. As an example when I import a “Student Information” CSV file I only need to make sure to set the settings in the sections that are pertaining to Users and Students. If I choose to include their enrollment on that file later, then I'd need to make sure to check the Enrollment/Registration/Assignments settings in that tab/section of the Import Behaviors.

Once these are complete you should be able to schedule your import / export as explained below:

Prerequisite 1 - Download and install ADX

Step 1: When you log into Accudemia as a System Admin Go to Advanced > Imports

Step 2: Then under the “Get it Now!” Heading click on the following Icon:

Step 3: Follow the instructions to install. Then go ahead and store your login credentials on the first screen.

Prerequisite 2 - Setup an Import Job or Export Job

Step 1: Once logged into the software/school.accudemia.net site, click on either “New Import Job” or “New Export Job”:

Step 2: Once you click “next” on the first screen of the import/export wizard, either:

  1. Select the CSV file for the import OR
  2. Select the type of export job and the file location with the name you want to use for the export file

by clicking browse(…) button and when done finally click next button.

Step 3: Now if importing ADX wants you to map the fields with drop-downs to each of the ones in your CSV file. Click next when done.

Note: Exports will not have this step.

Step 4: Then it shows you the results of what it found to import, click on them to see what its pulling, then click next.

Note: Exports will not have this step.

Step 5: At this point it wants to know if you want to overwrite data I would have it set to append for now until ready for a new semester to overwrite. Click next.

Note: Exports will not have this step.

Step 6: Finally, name the Import Job or Export Job and click the Finish button.

Schedule Imports / Exports in ADX

Now that we know where and what data to pull/push we need to automate it.

Step 1: Start by clicking “view details” on left column under the import job and then under schedule “Enable “

Step 2: Then click the “new” button and setup your reoccurrences. Click “OK”.

Step 3: You should see the automated task setup to go for you and click “ok” and done.

Want to run the ADX Import/Export Job when you are not logged in?

If you happen to need to run the scheduled automated imports / exports when the user is not logged into the computer or server you'll need to go directly into the Windows Task Scheduler itself and set this permission by editing the properties of the ADX import job.

  1. First, open Windows Task Scheduler from the Windows Start menu or settings.
  2. Next, right-click the ADX Import job in the Task Scheduler Library window and select Properties.
  3. On the General tab of the properties set the job to store your Windows User Credentials by selecting the “Run whether user is logged in or not” in the Security Options section.
  4. When you click OK at the bottom you'll now be prompted to enter and store your Windows User Credentials.
If you ever change your passwords then you'll need to come and update this section.
