Student data import, rebuilt
Adding your students from a spreadsheet is now faster, clearer, and much harder to get wrong.
What's new
- An editable preview shows every row of your student Excel file before a single record is saved.
- Mistakes can be corrected directly in the preview, with no need to fix the file and upload it again.
- Grade, section and guardian relationship are chosen from lists built from your school's own structure, so a typo can no longer create a duplicate or an orphaned record.
- Rows that fail a check are highlighted in place, with the exact field and the reason shown on hover.
Improvements
- The import runs entirely inside Schoolvoice, so student and guardian data stays within the platform from upload to save.
- Validation follows the same rules the platform applies to every other student record, so what passes in the preview is what the platform accepts.
- Errors surface during the review step rather than after submission, so a large intake no longer fails at the end of a long upload.
- Clear progress and button states show when validation is running and when the import is complete.
- The preview table is easier to scan, so reviewing a whole grade takes minutes instead of a line-by-line read.
- Existing student and guardian records, IDs and relationships are untouched, and any spreadsheet that worked before still works with the same required columns.
