MIS: How do I convert temporary UPNs in bulk?

MIS

Overview

This article explains how to generate permanent Unique Pupil Numbers (UPNs) for several pupils at once, where their records currently have a temporary UPN. 

Prerequisites

  • You must have the appropriate permissions assigned to your Juniper Education account to edit pupil records.

Convert temporary UPNs in bulk

Follow these steps to convert temporary UPNs for one or more pupils:

  1. Select Pupils.
  2. Select All Pupils.

  3. From Pupil List, select Actions:

  4. Select Convert UPNs.

  5. From Convert Temporary UPNs:

    1. Review the list of pupils shown. Only pupils with a Temporary UPN are listed.
    2. Select the checkbox next to each pupil you want to convert, or select the checkbox next to Pupil Name to select all pupils.
    3. Select Convert UPNs.
  6. When prompted, select Confirm to convert the temporary UPNs to new, permanent UPNs.

Outcome

A new, permanent UPN is generated for each selected pupil. Each pupil's current temporary UPN is removed and added into Former UPN. If a pupil already has a Former UPN recorded, its current value is overwritten and cannot be recovered.

Tips and best practices

  1. Check whether any selected pupils already have a former UPN recorded before you continue, because existing values are overwritten and lost.
  2. To generate a permanent UPN for a single pupil, see MIS: How do I generate a UPN for a pupil?
