Grade import

Grades may be imported as a CSV or XML file.

The import file format is the same as the corresponding export format.

Note: Grade import is equivalent to manual grading in the gradebook, in other words grades coming from activities are ignored after import.

Importing grades

CSV grade import

To import grades into the gradebook:

1. Decide on an import format - CSV or XML file (see below) - then export some grades using the corresponding export format.
2. Edit the export file as appropriate and save it.
3. Select your chosen import format from the gradebook dropdown menu.
4. Browse and upload your previously saved file.
5. Set options as required.
6. Click the "Upload grades" button.
7. CSV import only: Preview the grade import and choose the column mapping then click the "Upload grades" button to complete the grade import.

XML import

XML import requires the numerical grade, activity idnumber and user idnumber.

Remote file URL

The remote file URL field is for fetching data from a remote server, such as a student information system.

CSV import

CSV import is more flexible than XML import, as you may choose the column mapping.
