Using MicroGrade’s File Genius, you can import students from a text file of any format. The File Genius function will read the text file to determine how each record is delimited, and allow you to identify and select which fields to import.

1. From the Import hierarchical menu, select User Defined.
2. The Select a File of Students to Import appears, prompting you to select the file you wish to import.
3. Select the file you wish to import, and click Open.
4. The Select Import Data Format dialog displays, showing a piece of the text file.
5. Select an import starting point and click Continue.
6. The Specify Import Fields dialog displays. File Genius will attempt to identify the character being used as a delimiter between fields. Use the radio buttons to select different field delimiters.
7. Assign MicroGrade data field titles to each field using the drop-down menu at the bottom of the dialog. This specifies where in the MicroGrade program each piece of imported data will be sent.
8. If you wish to save the select import criteria, click the Save Import Field Specification button.
9. When finished click OK.
