Importing Custom Data requires a comfortable working knowledge of Microsoft Excel and CSV files. Please review the articles below prior to attempting an import or contacting our Support or Training teams. If questions or issues remain after reviewing these articles, feel free to contact us.
Eduphoria maintains a list of importers for multiple types of assessment data files. For those data files that we do not support, we offer a customization option for districts that allows for the creation of additional import rules.
Custom data importing is available to Aware users with the Data Administrator role. Specifically, a user must be able to add and manage Test Types and upload data files in order to manage all features related to custom data importing.
The main components of custom data file importing are:

Analytic Limitations of Custom Data Imports
There are some analytic limitations associated with Custom Test Types and Custom Data Imports. The following features are not compatible with Custom Data Imports: Single Test Analysis, Multi Test Analysis, Mastery Tracker, and Student Portfolios.
Custom Data Imports also do not have the same inherent analytic capabilities as built-in Test-Types and importers, including, but not limited to: item-level analysis, standards analysis, and performance-level analysis.
As Custom Data Imports are custom, you can design the fields set within the test type according to your analytic needs. For example, it is possible to import a field that shows standard percent correct by student by standard; however, that data would not automatically connect with, and be directly comparable to, local or state assessment data imported via a built-in Test-Types and importers.
