2 Step 2:
a Drag the names of field that you want to import from
the text file to the target boxes next to the
corresponding Test Manager field name. Field
names not dragged into a target box will not be
imported.
l
Student name and Student ID fields are
required for import, all other fields are
optional.
l
Student IDs must be unique for the record to
successfully import. If a duplicate ID is
found in the existing class or within the text
file, that record will not be imported. A status
message at the end of the import process
will report if any records were skipped and
how many were skipped.
l
Field names can be dragged to more than one target box. For example, the student's last name can be
mapped to both Last Name and Password.
b Use the arrow buttons to advance or reverse the contents being previewed.
The preview is updated in both the Source Text Fields list and in the import target boxes. This is a useful tool for
verifying that the desired import data is mapped to the proper Test Manager category.
c Click Next.
3 Step 3:
a Value restricted fields correspond to check boxes in
the Student Information dialog and require
additional text mapping to indicate which check box
should be selected. Value restricted fields flagged
for import will display either a check mark or
warning icon next to their name. To ensure
successful import of all the desired data, advanced
field mapping should be performed until no warning
icons are displayed. Click Edit Mapping to perform
this step.
l
Value restricted fields not flagged for import
will have the Edit Mapping button disabled.
l
You may continue with the import process
and ignore the warnings, but values that are
not mapped to a check box will be ignored
when imported.
b If flagged for import, select the format for the date of birth data using the drop-down list.
l
Only digits can be used to indicate month (M), day (D), and year (Y) values. So dates cannot use strings
such as "August" or "Aug." for the month.
l
Digits can be contiguous (e.g. MMDDYYYY) or separated by slashes (e.g. MM/DD/YYYY), dashes (e.g.
MM-DD-YYYY) or spaces (e.g. MM DD YYYY).
l
Year values can be specified using four digits or just the last two digits.
c Click Finish. A message appears asking if you want to save the import definition profile.
