System Administration Release Notes for March 20, 2025

Updated Error Message for Course Sections Import

While Section ID remains the primary key (aka unique identifier) for Course Sections and a validation will remain intact to ensure there are no duplicate Section IDs, there is another potential error in the Course Sections .csv import that may need to be addressed. This error now has improved messaging, which is as follows:

The combination of the term_id, course_catalog_code, and section_number must be unique.

Now, we call out the actual values within the error message to ease any troubleshooting for system administrators.

Example error message below:

For section ID (test28), the combination of the term_id, course_catalog_code, and section_number must be unique. This combination of values (win; net; best43) is already present in the System Admin. Please review this section ID in System Admin and update if needed.

Improved Naming Conventions for Error Reports

The downloadable error report now has a naming convention that follows the source file. This naming convention allows system administrators to more efficiently troubleshoot when comparing the source file and the error report.

Example of the filename now is: “import file name”+”errors.csv”

Downloadable Source File

System Administrators can now find all imported .csv files in the Data Transactions area. From there, they can be downloaded to assist in troubleshooting, as well as for historical records.

The Data Transactions page in the System Administration window with all imported csv files highlighted.
