Overview
This article discusses the process for importing course measures as an Institution-level administrator.
Importing Measures
- Navigate to Organization Management.
- Click Import.
-
Click Import Measures.
-
On the import page, download the provided CSV template. Scroll down to the section called Course Measures Template.
- Fill out the template with the course measures data. The template outlines all required fields, including definitions and character limits.
-
Upload the completed CSV file. (Scroll back up to the top right hand
side
of the page)
Note: Only CSV files are accepted. Other file types will result in an error.
Data Validation and Error Management
The system validates all data in the CSV file during the upload process.
- Validation Errors: If validation errors are found, the entire import will be blocked. A detailed error message will be displayed, indicating the specific issue (e.g., missing required fields, invalid course codes). Correct the errors and re-upload the file.
- Simultaneous Imports: The system restricts simultaneous imports for the same course. If another user is already uploading a file for a course, a message will display the name of the user currently performing the import. Try again once the process is complete.
Imported Measures
Once successfully imported, the measures are stored in the relevant Measure Library under the associated Outcome. Measures will not auto-populate all plans. They will need to be selected from the Measure Library and pulled into a plan. Measures can also be included in past plans if specified in the import file.
