Hi folks!
Is this possible, or must they be done one by one?
Cheers!

Its how i get staff to do their student tracking at home. Bulk export and import of formatted sheets can be done through:
Tools> performance > Assessment > System Utilities > Marksheets.
Use the wizard to export or import to/from a directory you specify.
Has anyone ever had issues here whereby not all student' data from various spreadheets is imported, for seemingly no valid reason?Quote:

are the results entered on the spreadsheet in the grade set assigned to the aspect in sims?
You should get a report when the files finish importing with any values skipped or updated or added.
I'd check that first.
Yeah cheers, it's a huge error report since it's about 100 files with about 20 kids in each and about 5 aspects.
But it seems if I import manually (one by one) these omissions don't occur.
Just wondered if anyone else had this issue.
Yes two years ago, it just wouldn't import the right row to the right student, but most was okay. Even one sheet at a time, it got jumbled for a couple of kids. Luckily the comment column had their name, so we just checked and swapped manually. It was only a test for a couple of teachers, so wasn't a biggie.Quote:

Rather frustrating then, that batch import requires you to manually check each sheet; thus completely and utterly undermining the functionality it's supposed to possess in the first place.Quote:

I think i might have to do an audit when i next run it in a few weeks time and check the import is OK.
Some people still use it and never report any issues or at least don't notice, but once stung once, i'm wary of it. We don't really need it.
To be fair, the process of reports should involve some proofing from the Head of Department, and if you are importing data, the teacher should at least cast their eyes over the data and agree that they are happy for it to go against their name. So the checking should be in place.
I used it all the time 4/5 years ago, but when it went wrong, i figured it wasn't worth the hassle, plus we don't really need it that much.
Vikpaw, staff are asked to check after the import, however i fear that they will cast an eye over it and say "yes, some things there for everyone".Quote:

having seen that other people have had an issue i always like to check and make sure to remove any doubt.
@pubgrub277 - i'm with you there we have he/she issues too. At least if checking is part of your process and it goes wrong, you can blame them and don't need to do too rigorous a check.
