Matching Your Data
Next, the Match step opens. Use the dropdown at the top of each column card to confirm that each column in your file is matched to the right field. When every column shows Ready, click Match my Data.
Your CSV file should include these seven columns:
| Column | What to Enter |
|---|---|
| The user's school email address. | |
| First Name | The user's first name. |
| Last Name | The user's last name. |
| Preferred Locale | The language the platform displays for the user (for example, en). If you leave out this column, the platform defaults to English. |
| Site Permissions | What the user can access in the platform. Enter school_staff or school_administrator. |
| School Role | The user's job title in the school. Options include teacher, principal, lighthouse_coordinator, office_staff, and staff. |
| Status | Whether the user can access the platform. Enter active or disabled. |
Validating and Submitting Your Data
The Validate step checks your file for errors and sorts your records into valid and invalid groups.
1. Use the Valid, Invalid, and All filters to review your records.
2. When everything looks right, click Submit my Data.
Downloading Your Records
Once your data is submitted, you'll see a confirmation screen. From here, you can:
- Click Download Invalid Records to get a list of records that didn't upload, so you can fix them.
