Group Bulk Load

A large number of groups and even locations and preset messages may be created at one time.

When these groups are created, they default to black text without the auto dismissal set for any day, but they may be individually edited to change these defaults.

Create a spreadsheet with a list of groups to be created. The first column is a code identifier for the type of group to be created and the second column is the name of the group.

The group names may only contain upper and lower case letters, spaces, and numbers.

Available options for the Group Type Code:

• p - Carpool - a student carpool group with a numeric value of 5000 or higher
• c - Club - any generic club
• d - Date - a group to which students may be assigned for a specific date of inclusion
• a - After Care
• i - Immediate - a group for which members will be shown in the classrooms prior to normal dismissal
• b - Bus - school buses which may be optionally shown on the top row of the classroom display
• v - Daycare Van - may be optionally shown on the second row of the classroom display
• w - Walking
• t - Tutoring
• o - Other - any other group or conglomeration of students that doesn't fit well into one of the previously listed categories
• m - message - preset message text which may be sent to the entire school with repeatedly typing
• l - location - the name of a physical location that students' will be dismissed to such as car line, back door, main office, media center
• z - zone location - the name of a set of zone positions for dismissal that are entered in aggregate

Copy the first two columns of the spreadsheet then paste into the input field. Finally, press the Submit button.

Following the load process, you will be presented with the results.
