Importing – free service by MaxClass

If you think adding or inviting members is too much work, you can also import them.

Free service

If you send a Excel, Open Office Calc or EDEXml file, MaxClass Support will import it for you for free.

Use the template below or send an existing file to support@maxclass.com. Please include names of school and class and you name in the mail.

You can choose:

CSV / Excel – import a class or whole school from one single CSV (or Excel) file including e-mail addresses. Please see below. You can include all pupils/students or parents in one go!

EDEXml – import a class or school from an EDEXml file and add parents and e-mail addresses later.

If you send a CSV, Excel or EDEXml file to MaxClass support we will import it for you for free.

How do I prepare the Microsoft Excel or Open Office Calc) open

Download this Excel sheet. Colors have been used for this instruction.

1. Save the file with the name of school and class in the file name.
2. Open in Excel or Open Office Calc and enter the fields at the top (name of school, your name etc)
3. Leave the top 3 three rows as they are. Row 3 contains the headers you need. You can include any header listed below. We have included common ones. You can leave everything empty except the name of the pupil or parent. (at least either first or second name)
4. Put the name of the class or group in the left column called Group_mc.
5. Fill in a pupil in a grey row (green headers contain the word student) and a parent/guardian next to it (purple area).
6. Add an extra parent/guardian in the next white row (or add more!)
7. If you only fill in the names, the members become “Name only” members. If you fill in the e-mail addresses, they can receive an invitation to register or accept the class.
8. Check the fields carefully and then send as Excel or Calc file (not CSV) to support@maxclass.com.

We will check the file and import it within a few days.

You must already be a manager of the class, please use the same e-mail address you use in MaxClass.
