State Reporting > Utilities > Import Staff File
This utility is for Student-only districts.
This utility imports basic staff demographic data to be used for the TSDS PEIMS Staff Interchange records (i.e., to join the unique staff ID with a teacher/staff record). Districts that do not use ASCENDER Business applications can import staff demographic data to be used for the TSDS Staff Interchange records. The import adds “non-employee” data to HR that will be read by the extract, along with data from ASCENDER Grade Reporting. This utility must be run before running the staff extract.
The utility accepts data from a comma-delimited text or CSV file (e.g., provided by a third-party business application vendor) and inserts the records into HR tables which allows you to maintain this data in the ASCENDER TSDS application.
The values must be inserted in this order:
