Importing additional users and classes

After importing data via Edlink by following the guide here, you may want to reimport data for any of the following reasons:

  1. Import more classes than you did originally.

  2. import new classes that have been created in your SIS/LMS after the original import.

  3. Update rosters for existing classes (e.g. to reflect new students that have been added).

To reimport data into Flint, follow the steps below. As you can see, you can reimport from the existing integration(s), without the need to create a new integration.

Note: when reimporting data into Flint, no existing users or groups will be removed, even if they were removed from the rostering system. If you would like to remove data, those users and groups would need to be manually removed from the workspace by course teachers or admins.

How to do it -

  1. Navigate to "Settings & members" and click on "SIS and LMS"

  2. Click on your current integration

  3. Confirm your data pipline

  4. Review the number of users are correct

  5. Review the number of groups are correct

  6. Before you click next, click on "Group Settings"- toggle OFF where it says "Update settings for existing groups" THEN click next

  7. Import your new users and groups

(optional) Select whether to send emails to the users

This will send emails to existing users as well as new users
