Use this ASCENDER record layout to import absences from third-party grade book products.
IMPORTANT:
Effective for the 2018-2019 school year: The file layout has been changed to accommodate a two-digit track. If you attempt to import a file to ASCENDER with a one-digit track in the 2018-2019 school year, you will receive the “Invalid Import File” error message.
If the import file does not have T in position 82 for all D record types, the import is canceled and you will receive the “Input Record Error. Invalid Import File.” error message.
