How do I Import Comment Banks?
This requires administrator level access to Sentral Reports.
The importer requires a CSV file, the format of which is explained below. These can be created in EXCEL, other spreadsheet applicaton, or text editor of choice.
To import comments, go to:
- Academic Reports > Academic Reporting Setup > Comment Banks
- Import Comment Banks
"type","comment","code","category","tags"
Definitions of fields:
- type: Allowed values are STARTER or COMMENT - this will define which tab the comment displays under when using the Comment Wizard, Starters or Shared Comments respectively.
- comment: The comment starter, including the standard merge fields of {first_name} {fullname} {he_she} {his_her} {him_her} and {himself_herself}.
- code: Your own code for reference to the comment
- category: The Category you wish the Comment Bank to be imported to. You do not need to create a new Category - if it doesn't exist prior to import, the importer will create it automatically for you.
- tags: Identifying tags of your own preference for locating comments.
