What can I import into Options ?

When you first start using Options, you can import the following (from your 'MIS' Admin System, or from a file of your own creation, eg. an Excel file):
-- a list of the Subjects you are offering to your Students,
and:
-- your Students' Names (and details) ... and (optionally) their Choices.

File format:
The file of data should be in 'CSV' (comma-separated-values) format, or as a 'Tab', 'space', 'pipe' (|) or an 'XLS' Excel file.

Further details:
For more details, please :

• go to Students & Choices -> Import Students -> Import, and click on the Help button
• see page 42 in the Options Handbook.
