Create enrolment list with student data
Introduction
This page provides you with a step by step instruction for preparing a comma-delimited text file with student data for their importing into the database of Vista.
Structure of the list
The following 4 (5) indications are needed for every student, separated by a comma, no empty space, one line per student:
Last Name,First Name,eMail,User ID(User Name),Password
Example:
Müller,Rénée,renee.mueller@meinprovider.ch,muellerr,muellerr
Dupont,Günther,g.dupont@meinprovider.ch,dupontguenter,dupontguenter
Example:
Müller,Rénée,,muellerr,muellerr
Dupont,Günther,,dupontguenter,dupontguenter.
Some instructions for this list:
- Last names, first names and emails should correspond to the persons, however user names and passwords can be created by you as you wish (with some restrictions).
- While last name and first name can contain accented letters, this is not allowed for usernames and passwords.
- Passwords need at least 6 characters
- Don't use just the first name or just the last name as username (userID). Common names might already exist many times in the database and thus would disturb the automatic enrolment of the list.
- Provide this list in either of three formats: text only (.txt), Word (.doc), Excel (.xls).
- Provide separate lists for each role in Vista; that is for: students, teachers or designers.
- Indicate clearly the target Vista section for each list with it's name and the institution, group and course it belongs to.
- Send your list - with the accompanying indications - to the edutech Vista Support
