Add/Modify Data After Configuring Sections and Uploading Data
This article will review how to add/modify data after configuration.
Initial Steps
- Configure the Upload Form.
- Create a new Bulk Data Upload with the new configuration.
Note that it is important that all required fields remain; this allows us to identify the existing record that any new data should be tied to.
Add/Modify Data
Navigation: Administration > Administration > Upload Data
- Click Administration under the Administration section of the navigation menu.
- Click Upload Data under the Bulk Data section.
The Upload Data page will display a list of the 50 most recent previous data loads including the time generated, load type, semester, unit, number added, duplicates, and errors. The listed results can be narrowed down by using the filters at the top of the page.
- Locate the applicable entry and click the Edit (pencil) icon.
- To help narrow down the list of records displayed, use the filter options (unit, upload type, and/or semester).
- The list can also be sorted by clicking on the relevant column header.
- Click on the hyperlinked number under the Added, Duplicates, or Errors column to review the records for that disposition.
