Import Data or Folder Attempts

When using the Accord LMS, hovering over information icons displays helpful tips.

Introduction

This article will describe the purpose and process of importing Data or Folder Attempt records.

The Import Data feature allows you to bulk Import historical folder usage records. 

This feature lets you bring historical data from other LMS systems into the Accord LMS. 

Only 100% completed folder records will successfully import.

What is Needed to Import Learner Data or Folder Attempt records?

*Important Note; the Import Folder Attempts feature is only available for Host Accounts.

Important comments regarding any (.csv) files used for import during this process;

Any .csv files being used for import during this process must be prepared while using the following format;

• Username (Required): Provide the username to whom the folder attempts belong.

• FolderID (Required): This is the auto-assigned Folder ID which can be obtained by accessing the Advanced Settings inside Folder Details.

• CompletionDate (Required): This field must contain the Date of Completion for the entire Folder.

• Score (Optional): Column must contain a number between 0 and 1 where 1 corresponds to 100% folder completion. 

• ArchiveDueDate (Optional): Input a date and time for when the Attempts will be archived.

Current Learners must already be enrolled to the folder to successfully import their former attempts.

Import the bottom folders first and work your way to the top if you have multi-level folder scores to import.

Child folder updates will cause any parent folders to recalculate.
