Note: Make sure that School IDs and Classroom IDs on ClassTag and in your files match, especially if they start with zero.
Note: Phone numbers from the Guardian Phone field are saved as a user’s mobile phone number. This means that this number is used for a user’s login method, and is their communication method for SMS and phone calls.
Phone numbers from the Guardian Home Phone field are saved as user’s Home Phone Number, meaning they are not used for communications or login.
Finalizing the Upload
You can test if the file is usable and upload it as a Dry Run before actually uploading and allowing ClassTag to modify the data already uploaded or synced.
When you are ready to upload the guardians.csv file, click Start Processing.
This may take a few minutes depending on the size of the file that you uploaded. You are free to use the app and go back to check if the upload has finished at a later time.
Review the parents/guardians connection from your Directories and you're all set!
