To begin creating conferences, the first step is to upload a teacher CSV file to the system. This will ensure that all teachers appear correctly in the Teacher Directory.


Steps to prepare a teacher CSV File:

  1. Download the latest teacher CSV template from the Integration tab. For your convenience, the template is also attached below this article.

  2. It is recommended to name the file teachers, although this is not mandatory.



Understanding the purpose of each field will help ensure a smooth upload and prevent login or data issues. Below is an overview of the fields included in the file:


  • Teacher_localid serves as a unique identifier for each teacher, allowing the system to create their account. It must be unique for every teacher and should not include any special characters. For best results, it is recommended to use numbers as the local ID.


  • first_name, last_name, email, username and password are the required fields and should be filled out accordingly.


  • room and virtual room fields can be left empty but must not be removed.


  • titledescription can be used to specify departments, subjects, or courses (Arts, Science, Math etc).


Important tips:

❗Do not add or remove any fields, and do not alter field names. They must match the template exactly.

❗Avoid using special characters in any field.

❗Make sure the username and password fields are filled out. Leaving them blank will prevent teachers from logging in.


Following these steps will ensure a smooth upload and allow teachers to access the system without issues. The upload of the file can be done via the Integration tab.




Once ready, you can email the file at support@ptcwizard.com and we will be happy to check it before uploading!
