RUN YOUR ORGANISATION

Imports

An import adds a class list or a staff list in one go, and can enrol everyone in an offering at the same time. You upload a file, tell Peridot which column is which, check every row in a preview, then confirm.

Run an import

  1. Open Imports and select New import. Drop a CSV or XLSX file. No file to hand? Select Download template.
  2. Map columns. For each column in your file, pick the Peridot field: Matric number or Staff number, Email, Full name, First names, Last name, Level, Department code or Team code. Map at least an email or an id column.
  3. Preview. Each row shows what will happen to it.
  4. Choose whether to enrol them in the offering and whether to send a sign-in email with the join code, then select Confirm import.
