Use the Choose File button to select your import file, then click Process Transcript Import.
Administrators will typically receive a confirmation email within a few minutes of initiating to let them know that their file was accepted and processing is in progress. Once the import process is completed, administrators will receive a second email titled “LatitudeLearning Data Import Exception Log” with an attached Excel file. The file contains information about successfully imported transcripts, and lists any import errors as failures, but at this time, does not include the specific data or other reason that is causing the failure.
