Tasks

Move from a spreadsheet

The order that makes manual entry survivable, and how to prove the result agrees.

There is no file importer yet

Bringing a spreadsheet in is manual in this release. A bulk import is the next release's work; this page is the order that keeps the entry honest.

The order that works

  1. Create the year and its terms from the spreadsheet's reporting periods.
  2. Add the classes and subjects once; the spreadsheet repeats them on every row.
  3. Add the students and their placements. This is the bulk of the work.
  4. Add the teachers and their class-and-subject pairs.
  5. State the grading rules per subject.
  6. Enter one subject's marks and compare the worked-out result with the spreadsheet's own answer.

If the two answers differ, the difference is a rule the spreadsheet made silently. State that rule in the grading screen and compare again.
