When the Import Class window first opens the a teacher first chooses a grading period from the Period drop down. When a teacher clicks the Period drop down a list of available periods in SIS is shown starting with the latest period as seen below.
Figure 2.2.1.4: Drop-down for choosing a Period.
After choosing a Period the Classes list is populated with the list of class sections a teacher is teaching for the selected period according to SIS. A teacher can then select one or more class sections to import into their new class as seen below. When a teacher selects the section(s) if the Class Name field is empty, it is automatically filled in with the common parts of the names of the selected sections as shown below. It will continue to be updated automatically as different sections are selected until a teacher edits the Class Name field directly.
Figure 2.2.1.5: Selecting class sections.
Once a teacher has choosen the class sections they want to import and have filled in the Class Name field they click Import to import the student data from SIS into the new class. If a teacher has selected multiple sections in SIS, as seen above, they will be combined into one new gradebook. In the example above the teacher selects the two lecture sections of 308 to import, leaving the two lab sections, which would usually contain the same roster as the lecture, unselected. If the import takes more than a moment the following dialouge is displayed.
