Importing CSV data

Once you have prepared the spreadsheet, you can import it by following the instructions below.

  • Open a web browser and go to www.literatu.com.

  • Login with your community administrator account.

  • Click the hamburger menu at the top left of the screen, and select Import school data which is under the Manage heading

  • On the initial screen, take note of the message which tells you how many student licenses you have available. You will not be able to import more than this. Please contact us at support@literatu.com if you need more licenses.

  • To proceed, select the 'Other CSV' option on this page.

  • On the import screen, either drag-and-drop your CSV file onto the upload frame, or click ‘Browse files’ to locate it. When you have done this, click Next.

  • Match your spreadsheet headings with the fields in the drop-downs. If you have used our sample, this will happen automatically.

  • Click Next to proceed. The importer will validate your file. If any issues are encountered, you will see a message and the import will not proceed.

  • If the format is OK you will see a detailed view of the data we are about to import. Please make sure the information is correct. You can cancel at this point if needed.

  • Click ‘Import data’ at the bottom of the validation screen to start the import.

  • You will see a confirmation when done.

If your files fail the validation step, please check and make sure they match the formats specified. The most common issues are:

  • Incorrect file format. Please make sure you are providing a CSV file.

  • Missing columns.

  • Missing or incorrect data. Please make sure your import sheet isn't missing data. Please also ensure there is a default password in the password fields, even if you will be logging in with Google or Microsoft.

Contact us at support@literatu.com if you have any issues with the import that you are unable to identify. Please include your import file(s) in the email
