Bulk Load Absences

We’re happy to announce that tracking student absences just got easier with the new ability to bulk load absences! Student absences can affect deadlines and reporting. In the past, users needed to manually enter absences on a student’s Details tab for them to influence deadline calculations or reports. At SameGoal, we’re committed to improving workflow efficiency and saving our users time, which is why we’re very excited about the new bulk loading feature for absences!

To bulk load absences:

1. While logged in as an admin user, navigate to Settings > District Information > Absences Bulk Loader.
2. Click add Cutover Date.
3. Enter in a cutover date. Only absences after the specified cutover date will be included in the load.
4. Navigate to Settings > Bulk Loader.
5. Click Choose File next to Absences.
6. Select a .CSV file to upload. The file must be in the required format.
7. Click Load. Once absences are loaded, they will be stored on a student’s Details tab.
   
   

The bulk load will not work if you have not set a cutover date.

End dates are not included in the bulk load.
