Student data files are used to import all student details for an individual cohort. This includes information such as student IDs, student names, classes, and additional filter values such as Gender and Ethnicity, as defined in your school's Student Data Profile (in CONFIG > Student Data). You can extract this information from your MIS and save it in Excel (as either CSV, XLSX, XLS or XML format). This is then imported into Sisra Analytics, where it is linked to the grades files for the cohort, and populates student details in reports.
Sisra Analytics uses the Student ID within student and grades files to link the appropriate students with the correct grades/baselines. You must be consistent with the Student ID used within all files for a cohort.
Within Sisra Analytics, you can choose what to use as the Student ID is, for example, it could be the student’s exam number, admission number, or UPN. Regardless of which you choose, you should ensure that you always use it with all uploads.
