Location: Administration > Courses > Enrolments
It allows to enrol (or unenrol) existing users to existing courses, choosing roles they will have in each course, based on informations in a file.
This method checks for an enrolment file at the specified location. You can put the file anywhere you want (as long as Moodle can find it), but if you don't specify a location, Moodle will look for the file at .../moodledata/1/enrolments.txt. If you do specify a file path, it should be absolute (eg /var/moodledata/enrolments.txt) and can be read and modified by the webserver process. If Moodle finds a new file, it will process the data and delete the file afterwards. This process is run via the Cron job. You can choose to have a log file send to the administrator and to send a notification to teachers and students.
The file should be structured with the action, role, student number (see student profile) and course ID number (see course settings).
You'll get all details on how to format the flat file on the settings page (accessed via the edit flat file settings link in Administration > Courses > Enrolments). You must read it !
