If any student names that you are importing are the same as student names
that are already in your database, AccelTest will show you the duplicate
student names one by one. For each student, you will have some or all of
these options:
•
Update ID
and
Update All IDs:
These options are available when the
student name is the same but the ID is different. Clicking
Update ID
updates the student’s ID in the database to the one that is in the file or
folder you are importing. Clicking
Update All IDs
does this for all student
names that match names in the file or folder you are importing.
•
Update Name
and
Update All Names
: These options are available when
the ID for a student in the import source matches the ID of a student in your
AccelTest database. Clicking
Update Name
changes the name of the
student in the database to match the student with the same ID in the import
source.
Update All Names
does this for all students with matching IDs.
Make sure the student in your AccelTest database is the same as the one
in the import source before doing this to avoid attributing a student’s marks
to another name.
•
Skip
and
Skip All
: If the student information that is already in your
database is correct, and you do not want to replace it or update it with
information from the file, click
Skip
to skip just this student (without
importing the student) or
Skip All
to skip all duplicate students in the file.
