Using Core>Import to Update Locker Info

You can use Core>Import to update the Setup>Schools>Lockers screen, through 2 different templates.

Watch our latest Training Video on Managing Lockers in Genesis:

We just recommend that you test the update first with one line of data to make sure it looks okay before doing a mass import of all students.

It's always best to test things out first!

If you have questions, please give the Genesis help desk a call first.

Locker Info

If you have locker setup information in an excel file, you can use a template from Core>Import to update this information. 

STEP 1, select SETUP.

STEP 2, select LOCKER. Download and fill out the template.

STEP 3, import the info via Core>Import.

This template will not update students' lockers - but it can update locker numbers, combinations, etc.

Student Locker Numbers

If you have an excel file with School Year, Student IDs (Local IDs), and Locker Numbers, you can use the "Student" template found in Core>Import. This import assigns students to lockers. 

STEP 1, Select STUDENT DATA.

STEP 2, Select STUDENT.

There is a LOT of info in this template.

The primary keys of "School Year" and "Student ID" are required. Every other column, except for Locker, should be completely removed from the template before importing.

STEP 3, enter info into the template for your 3 columns: SCHOOL YEAR, STUDENT ID, AND LOCKER.

STEP 4, import the info via Core>Import.

Genesis recommends testing the import first with just one line of data to make sure you do not erroneously update all students with bad info when importing.
