Tool Search: Import Tool
The Ed-Fi Import tool allows districts to import student data for a specific program and create/update records in Campus for each record returned. The Import tool can also import student immunization records from the Wisconsin Immunization Registry (WIR).
Currently, the Ed-Fi Import tool only imports migrant data and student immunization records.

A list of Non-compliant students can be generated by using the Immunization Compliance Summary Report and Immunizations Report under Health > Reports section. Users can compare the before and after records by running these reports (before and after using the Import Tool) as a verification that records were imported correctly.
- Any errors that occur are displayed in the Ed-Fi Error Log table. See the Immunization Import Errors section below for possible errors that may occur when importing immunizations.
