All Student List

When you launch the Teacher Control Panel, you will be taken to the All Student List screen. Here you can create a master list of all your students’ names.

Creating a List of All Students • Enter students’ first and last names in the indicated text boxes. A signin name for the student will be

automatically created, but can be edited. You may also add an optional student ID number. • Click the Add Student button or press the Return key to add the student to the list. Click the Clear Fields

buttons to cancel changes and clear the text fields. If there is any missing or duplicated information, you will be notified so that you can correct it.

Editing or Deleting Student Names • Click a student’s name on the list to select it. You can

scroll through the alphabetical list, or begin typing in the text box above the list to help you find the name more quickly. Click the X button to clear the text in the text box.

• To edit student information, select the student’s name from the list and edit the information in the text boxes


at the left. Click the Add Student button or press the Return key to save the changes. Click the Clear Fields button to cancel changes. (Note: You cannot edit or delete a student’s information at the same time the student is using JumpStart World of Learning. Changes can only be made after the student has exited the program.)

• To delete a student, select the name from the list and click the Delete Student button. A warning dialog box will appear. Click Yes to delete the student. Note: Deleting a student will delete all of his or her records for JumpStart World of Learning.

• To delete several students, press the Control/Command key on your keyboard as you select the students’ names in the list. (If the students’ names are listed sequentially, you can use the Shift key to select those students.) Click the Delete Student button. A warning dialog box will appear. Click Yes to delete the students. Note: Deleting students will delete all of their records for JumpStart World of Learning.

• To delete all students, click the Delete ALL Students button. A warning dialog box will appear. Click Yes to delete all students. Note: Deleting all students will delete all students’ records for JumpStart World of Learning.

Importing Student Information • Click the Import Student Info button to import a CSV file of student names into the All Student List. (See

the guidelines below for setting up a CSV file.) A dialog box will appear allowing you to find and select the CSV file you wish to import.

• If there are duplicate or badly formed names, those names will appear in a different color in the All Student List. You will need to edit these names or they’ll be deleted when you leave the All Student List screen. Note: If you have a duplicate name and choose to delete the original name (not the name in red font), the duplicate name does not automatically become acceptable – you still need to click on that name in the list and click the Add Student button or press the Return key to save it to the list. Additionally, if that student had records attached to the original name, those records will not be transferred even though the same name is being used.

Guidelines for setting up a CSV file: 1. Each line of the CSV file must contain one valid student entry in the following form: last name,

first name, signin name, and student ID number, separated by commas (for example, Miller,Lisa,LisaM,23). The student ID number is an optional field. The signin name can simply be the student’s first name, but please note that this may create duplicates that will have to be edited.

2. The maximum length for first and last names is 10 characters each. Any names longer than this will be truncated upon import. The accepted characters for first and last names are all letters, upper and lower case, periods, apostrophes, hyphens and blank spaces. Numbers and all other characters will not be accepted. (Continued on next page)

3. The maximum length for signin names and student ID numbers is 12 characters each. Any names or numbers longer than this will be truncated upon import. The accepted characters for signin names and student ID numbers are all letters, upper and lower case, numbers, periods, apostrophes, hyphens and blank spaces. All other characters will not be accepted.

4. There should be no headers or other extraneous information in the CSV file. 5. Be sure to save and close the file before importing it.

Exporting Student Information • Click the Export Student Info button to save your student list as a CSV file. A dialog box will appear

letting you choose where to save your file.

You can click the Clear Field button to cancel changes and clear the text fields.

• To find a group name in the list, you can scroll through the alphabetical list or, for faster results, you can begin typing the name in the text box above the list. (Click the X button to delete text in the text box.)
