DDtrac allows the import of a variety of organization data in comma delimited files. This allows a school to import data from any district database or from an Excel file.

Note: Data import is currently only available for users with administrative privilege.

To use data import:

1. Open the "Administer Site" tab from the main DDtrac menu and {Select} "Import Organiz. Data" from the "Manage Data" menu.
2. {Select} the type of data you want to import.
   • When importing organization data you will want to import sites FIRST then you can import either students or users, you will want to import groups last.
3. {Click} the "Upload" button to upload the file and write it to the database.
   Note: the larger the file you upload the longer it will take to import.  The file not only needs to upload, it also needs to be associated with the correct user, user, goal, objective etc. before it is written to the DDtrac database.

• Importing data in the correct order allows the data to be associated correctly (e.g. the student is at SITE A or this instructional data is for drawing).

See the following to get more information about the format of the files for importing data:

• Import Sites (e.g. all schools in a school district)
• Import Students
• Import Groups
• Import Users
• Import Standard Assessments

Note: If you include a student id, user id or group id in the file and if a record already exists in DDtrac for that student, user or group, the record will be updated, otherwise the student, user or group will be added to DDtrac.
