Access the Import Students facility using the "Import
Students" button from the Student Data screen. This feature has a multi-screen
wizard-like format with only one field you will need to complete:
ODBC Data Source Name (an
ODBC DSN you set up on the web server)
Note: Be sure you have properly formatted your
spreadsheet, including defining your " Named
Data Range "
as “Student_Data” per the on-screen instructions. Make sure that all the
correct column names are in Row 1 of the spreadsheet.
You also need to set up an ODBC data source name on the Web
Server to point to the spreadsheet you are importing from before running the import
process.
Automatic Enrollment on Import –
You can also choose a class and/or a competency into which all Imported
students will be automatically enrolled. This reduces the workload for both you
and the student for common classes since no one has to complete the enrollment
screen for these students and these classes.
Standards may be classified in numerous ways. Standards can be differentiated based on purpose.
•A basic standard has a broad ranging effect in a particular field, such as a standard for metal which affects a range of products from cars down to screws.
•Terminology standards (or standardized nomenclature) define words permitting representatives of an industry or parties to a transaction to use a common, clearly understood language.
•Test and measurement standards define the methods to be used to assess the performance or other characteristics of a product or process.
•Product standards establish qualities or requirements for a product (or related group of products) to assure that it will serve its purpose effectively.
•Process standards specify requirements to be met by a process, such as an assembly line operation, in order to function effectively.
•Service standards, such as for repairing a car, establish requirements to be met in order to achieve the designated purpose effectively.
•Interface standards, such as the point of connection between a telephone and a computer terminal, are concerned with the compatibility of products.
•Standards on data to be provided contain lists of characteristics for which values or other data are to be stated for specifying the product, process or service.
•International Standards have been developed through a process that is open to participation by representatives of all interested countries, transparent, consensus-based, and subject to due process. The existence of non-harmonized standards for similar products, processes, and services in different countries or regions can create barriers to trade. Therefore, export-minded countries and industries have recognized the need for internationally accepted standards to help rationalize the international trading process.
