How to create Staff and Student TAB files
Scholarpack is not SIF-enabled, which means the school must manually create and submit a file for the pupils and members of staff to ICT Solutions
Once the file has been created in ScholarPack and uploaded via Anycomms the account generation service is automatic, so you can easily provide the required data in tab file format and receive the processed information with account credentials within a few hours
Note: submitting the files affiliates the pupil or staff member with your school
Affiliation keeps the Email accounts “live”, we therefore advise schools to send in an up to date TAB file, with Pupil and Staff details at least once per calendar month or when there is a change; new staff member, someone leaves etc
Tab files should always contain a full list of all pupils and staff who currently require Google NSIX accounts at your school
Navigate to Admin > Config
Click on Data Exports
From the drop down list choose Norfolk County Council
Select either the Pupil or Staff Export
Scroll down the page and click on Generate CSV
The TAB File will download and appear at the bottom of the page
Note: depending on how your machine has been set up, this file may go straight to your downloads, however you can Open this file and Save as, to save to your Anycomms Plus Inbox or an area that you designate
Please ensure that your files have the correct file format and naming convention
XXXX_Pupils.Tab
XXXX_Staff.Tab
XXXX refers to your 4 digit short form DCFS Number
Note: you will need to create a separate file for Staff and Students and they will need to contain all users who require accounts (not just changes)
