New import tool has been published!

We have been working hard in the past months in order to make many improvements to the import process. As a result, there have been many changes in the way you import your files.

First, you need to download and install a new tool called Accudemia Data Exchange. It’s currently available only for Windows XP or newer, Linux and Mac OS versions are still under development.

Once you download and run the installer, just follow the few steps described there; it will download and install all the required files. You might be prompted to install some missing Windows components you don’t have installed, you have to accept and install those components too. It’s just a couple clicks to accept the installation of all the required components.

After it completes, the application will start and ask you to login:

The User ID and the Password are the same you use to access Accudemia. The Domain can be the address you use to access Accudemia, or just the first part of it (both will work). For instance, you can enter somecollege.accudemia.net, or just somecollege.

Now, you are logged in the Accudemia Data Exchange control panel.

Click on “Create New Import Task” to select which file has to be imported, and how it will be done. Follow the steps described there, they might vary depending on what you are going to import to Accudemia.

For instance, if you are going to import students enrollment, you might have something like this:

Complete the remaining steps to save the changes. To run the job and import the file to Accudemia, you have to click on View Details (under the job’s name), and then on Run Import Now:

After a few seconds (or minutes if there’re thousands of records), you will see a green light indicating the information was successfully uploaded to Accudemia:

And congratulations, you’re done!! After a few more seconds, the information will be available in Accudemia.

Did you know? You can create groups from filtered reports

On reports: when you create and filter a report it "automatically" creates a User Group. After creating a report that you need, where you have filtered all of the students with " MATH "(Subject Areas), selected only the " Freshman "(Student Demographic) who have visited the center for " Tutoring "(Service Type) more than 3 times on a Visitor History report you decide you want to save that group and call them " Freshman needing Math Help ." You can do this after you run that report by visiting the User Accounts > Groups section on the left-side navigation panel. Once there simply click on the Report Generated Groups tab, then click on the report you just ran, and click edit . At this point you can name the group and hit save changes and the group will now be available for you to use as a group filter in future reports.

Sign-In and Appointment Restrictions

We are excited to announce that we are introducing 2 new features today. When the students sign-in or create an appointment, now you can limit what courses and staff members to display. There are 2 types of restrictions available that you can use: The first one is the Student-Staff Member Association . This lets you assign specific staff member to specific students, so you can decide who works with who. The second one is the Service-Subject Area Association . That means that only certain courses will be displayed when a service is selected. For example, certain services like Tutoring might require all the student courses to be displayed, while a Self Study service might require the students to select a different kind of activity only for tracking purposes. The restrictions can be found under Administration > Restrictions in Accudemia 7.0. Once there, select the restriction type you want to edit. Then, 1) Select the Center you want to apply the restriction to. 2) Cli
