Data Fields for Import
The following data fields can be imported to create staff and student user accounts.

Naviance Elementary recommends that you use an email address or another guaranteed unique value if available. Alternatively, you can add a prefix to each name such as your school name followed by an underscore, so the value is more likely to be globally unique.
