Insight Roster Upload: The Basics
|
DreamBox Insight Roster Upload (IRU) cannot be used in conjunction with any Single Sign-On (SSO) methods. |
As a DreamBox administrator, you can create and update student, educator, and classroom roster data in by completing and uploading two spreadsheets in the Insight Dashboard:
- Educator spreadsheet
- Student/Classroom spreadsheet
Educator Spreadsheet
Use the Educator spreadsheet to create and adjust staff accounts in bulk:
| Create new teachers and administrators. | Assign school or district permissions to an existing teacher account. | ||
| Associate teachers and administrators with the correct district and school. | Adjust permissions for an existing administrator account. |
|
Note: If you are using the Educator spreadsheet to create or adjust a handful of DreamBox Math administrator accounts, you can do this directly in the Educator tab of your dashboard instead of preparing and uploading the Educator spreadsheet. |
Student/Classroom Spreadsheet
Use the student spreadsheet to create and update student accounts, classrooms, and classroom rosters in bulk.
| Create new or update existing student accounts. | Create schools and classrooms inside a school. | ||
| Add students to and remove students from classroom rosters. | Add teachers to existing classrooms at a school. |
|
If you are using the Student spreadsheet to create or adjust a handful of students inside an existing classroom, you can do this directly from the Roster tab inside the Teacher Settings tabs in your dashboard. If you want to create a new classroom, you need to use the Student spreadsheet. |
