I want to use Fordhams Blackboard site for committee work within an organization. Can we input people without their being in the fordham SIS system or other databases?
Yes, but you must send us a file with the following information precisely in the following format:The following format is necessary for creating users:”login id”,”last name”,”first name”,”email”,”password”,By “login id” is meant a username – be aware these cannot conflict with any existing username in lotus, ergo it would be wise to create an impossible username like GEDxxxxx where GED (for Grad School of Ed, for example) would be in each of them and the xxx would be their last name. Note, that the file you send must be EXACTLY like the format above including quotes and commas or it won’t be acceptable.Here is what a sample file of three names might look like: “GEDjdoe”,”Doe”,”John”,”email@email.com”,”jdoe101″, “GEDjadoe”,”Doe”,”Jane”,”email@email.com”,”jadoe102″, “GEDpsmith”,”Smith”,”Peter”,”email@email.com”,”psmith103″, Note there is a carriage return after each record as well.
