About Custom import

Modified on Thu, 17 Sep, 2015 at 11:42 AM

The Custom Imports plugin helps institutions import employee, student, and intuitional data into Fedena using a comma-separated value (CSV) formatted file. The Custom Imports plugin will help save time by alleviating manual data entry tasks, and will also reduce the chances of error allowing institutions to work with greater accuracy. When a custom import is performed—if Fedena’s SMS settings is configured—an SMS notification is sent to the corresponding user whose information is being imported into Fedena.

The administrator or a privileged employee (Custom import privilege is required) can perform a custom import. At the top of your dashboard, click the module access icon > Data and Reports > Custom Imports.

Custom Import can be performed when the following information needs to be recorded in Fedena:

Employee admission details including salary structure, any additional details, bank details, and employee privileges
Student admission details including any additional details

Note: Currently, student roll numbers cannot be imported using Custom Import.

Student guardian details
Student attendance details (only Daily attendance type)
Student exam scores
Library book details including any additional details and book tags
