Importing Users from the Student File

You can create student user accounts from the student file records to save time and effort.

To create student user accounts from student file entries:

Path:

Administration > Users

1.	In the Users screen, click the Import Users From Student File link to display the Import screen and create the student user accounts.

2.	In this screen, you specify the students you want to add to the e-Link students User Group. Begin by selecting the student file you want to add the students from in the Import from student file drop down list.

3.	Select the User Group that you want to place the new users into from the Import to User Group drop down list.

4.	If you want to specify grade and the school of the students you want to add, select them from the Grade and School drop down lists. You might want to do this if you are training schools individually on how to use this system.

5.	Select a User ID and Password Format. For the password format, we recommend the Generate Random Password option for added security. Users can change their passwords later.

Note:

To get a list of login ID’s and passwords, see Working with the Job History of Imported e-Link Users in the Tyler’s Versatrans Integration Service Administrator Utility Guide.

6.	When you have completed your entries and selections, click .

Note:

If you choose Family ID as your format, one user will be generated for each Family ID. One family may have multiple siblings. Selecting this option will eliminate the need for multiple logins, (you must use the Family ID field in Routing & Planning to take advantage of this option).
