Parent CSV Import

e-maktab enables you to import bulk data using a CSV file. We have enabled CSV import on parents, students and teachers. 

To import all your parents follow the steps below:

STEP 1: 

Create a CSV file with the following headers.

name, address,city,postcode,country,mobile,email,home_phone, relationship 

NOTE: Name, Mobile and Relationship are mandatory fields. Mobile phone is unique and can only belong to one parent, meaning the same mobile number can not be used for another parent. For relationship field please use one of the following values in the field:

aunt, father, grandparent, guardian, mother, sibling, uncle

One more thing to check is when you enter a mobile or home phone the first 0 gets removed in pretty much all excel sheets, you'll need to format the mobile column as TEXT and than enter the number for the 0 to remain. 

For country, you MUST use the following country code.

GB = United Kingdom

IE = Ireland

STEP 2:

Once you're happy with your file save the file as CSV format and upload it to the parent section on e-makatb. 

Login > Click on Parents menu > Click on Import Parents button

STEP 3:

Select the CSV file by click on the choose file button and click on the Import button to import the data.

If everything is fine all your parents will be imported.
