Tips & Best Practices
- Start with one class to test your workflow before importing all students.
- Use the bulk import feature to save time — it supports CSV and Excel files.
- Invite a colleague as Admin so you have backup access to the system.
- Set up your academic calendar events early so they appear on everyone's dashboard.
