When uploading users, either via the manual method or the automated method, the first step is to create your CSV file. Below are some instructions and guidelines to help you create your CSV file.

...

Given that CSV is text-based, you cannot add files to a "File upload" field type.

Field Type: OCI ID

When uploading to an OCI ID field, the value must adhere to a very specific convention that includes the country, province, and acronym for the college, followed by the unique identifier for the user. All components must be separate by a hyphen (-).   The complete list supported by your learning environment can be seen by going to Site Administration > OCI > User Identifiers.

For example if uploading the OCI ID for a Physician affiliated with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario with CPSO #12345, the value would be:

CA-ON-CPSO-12345

Field Type: Text Area

You can upload information to a text area field. Note that you need to be careful when doing so and escape any special characters, and in particular, commas. If a comma is not escaped, the system will think that the comma represents the end of the field / column in your CSV. This is true of any field type, but is more common in text areas, where administrators may add whole sentences and paragraphs that often contain commas.

...

  • For the System Administrator role, use "manager" (without the quotes)
  • For the System Coordinator rule, use "coordinator"
  • For the Supervisor role, use "supervisor"
  • For the Course Creator role, use "coursecreator"

sysrole1,sysrole2,sysrole3

...

The role can be "student", "editingteacher" or "teacher". The enrolment duration must be in days.
