Importing school information using the command line tool

You can import the contents of CSV files using the command line tool rather than SMART Administrator Tools - Classlist Manager.

To import school information

1. Open a command prompt window.

2. Open the following folder in the command prompt window:

   [Program files]\SMART Technologies\SMART Administrator Tools 2011\
   CSVtoSchool.exe

3. Type the following command and then press ENTER:

   CSVtoSchool /classcsv:[Class CSV file path]
   /labcsv:[Computer lab CSV file path]
   /schoolfile:[SMART School file path]

   Where

   • [Class lab CSV file path] is the path and file name of the student, teacher and class CSV file

   • [Computer lab CSV file path] is the path and file name of the computer lab CSV file

   • [SMART School file path] is the path and file name of the SMART School file.

   Notes 

   • If the SMART School file doesn’t exist, the tool creates the SMART School file and includes the student, teacher and class or computer lab information from the CSV file in it.

   • If the SMART School file exists, the tool replaces the student, teacher and class or computer lab information with the contents of the CSV file, but the Internet blocking rules and application blocking rules remain the same.The database ID of the SMART School file remains the same.

   • If there are errors, a message appears, displaying an error number that indicates the problem.

   • If there are no errors, a 0 error message appears.
