Integrated version means that the school uploads files beforehand so the parents already have their login information and they are already connected to the teachers they need to see.


The file format we use to integrate external data into our database is CSV. A CSV is a comma separated values file which allows data to be saved in a table structured format. CSVs look like a garden-variety spreadsheet but with a .csv extension. Traditionally they take the form of a text file containing information separated by commas, hence the name.


CSV files can be used with any spreadsheet program, such as Microsoft Excel, Numbers, Open Office Calc, or Google Spreadsheets. They differ from other spreadsheet file types in that you can only have a single sheet in a file, they can not save cell, column, or row styling, and can not save formulas.


Every CSV file with different data, like the list of parents, students, teachers, parent relationship and enrollment list (links between teachers and students) is uploaded one after another to create a database. 


You can upload CSV files via the admin site: Settings > Integration > Choose CSV file > Drag and drop the file.
