Uploading Your SIS Data (Manual Upload)
The File Uploader allows you to manually import Student Information System (SIS) data (for example, from SAM7 or PowerSchool) into Equity Analytics. This method is ideal for one-off updates, quick changes, or when your API connection is not yet set up.
For details on the exact file structure required, see the SIS Data Format page.
Manual uploads process automatically. It may take a few minutes for your data to be processed.
Accessing the File Uploader
You can access the File Uploader from anywhere in Equity Analytics by using the User Menu:
- Click the File Upload icon in the navbar.
- Select Student Information System from the dropdown menu.
Upload Requirements
Before uploading, make sure your files meet the following:
- Accepted File Type:
