How to create and upload a CSV file

To upload a CSV file you will firstly need to log in Admin & Reports.

Step 1.  Click Add Multiple Students

Step 2.  Click the blue button to 'downloaded example CSV file'.  Leaving the first row as it is,  you can begin adding your students. 

Step 3.  Enter the data exactly as shown on the example. 

Each students Nessy name will be automatically generated.  If any students share the same names, these will need to be edited to make them unique. e.g add a number Fred Bloggs1

The parent email column must be populated.  If parental consent is being sought via an alternative method, a school email address can be added instead as the file will not upload if this column is left blank. 

IMPORTANT - After entering the student information remember to save the template as a .CSV file before uploading.

To do this in excel follow these steps:

File > Save As > Enter file name & select file type .CSV > Save

If the file type uploaded to Nessy is not a CSV file it will not upload.

Step 4.  Click Begin Import and select the chosen file to upload.

Before creating the students you will have the option to grant students access to the programs. 

Step 5. Click the blue Create Students button to complete the upload.
