Hi there,
I am new to this mailing list, therefore just a quick info who I am: I
am a 38yr old German school teacher close to Hamburg, Germany. Nice to meet you :-)
Either the question I have hasn't been posted yet or I just didn't find a
satisfying answer in the archieves (which might mean that I overread
it in case it's there).
So if this was already talked about, please just give me a good link,
thanks :-)
My school has got about 1,000 students and about 80 teachers but is
still growing. Lower classes are organized in their classes for
teaching, and the higher ones use courses on differend levels. Now, I
wonder if I can create some config files that I import one by one to
schooltool's database, like
term duration, timetables, teachers and their courses. Once this is
done and all courses have their course IDs, I'd like to import a data
file with all students, like:
studentID, FirstName, LastName, Class, German course, Maths Course,
English Course, Geography course, etc.
This data could be available as .xls or .cvs or whatever. I saw
importing persons via that import function only allows a few fields,
and clicking for each of the 1,000 students once for each course they
have looks like work ;-)
So, is there a possibility for importing lots of data with only a bit
of work?
Btw, (what might be interesting to know) I am running SchoolTool
2008.10 on a ubuntu 2.6.24-22.
Enjoy your Sunday,
Gregor
