Add scores, update success status, and mark attendance

Option 1: One-by-one update

2. Click the time period toggle and click  “Past events.” The table will show all past live training events hosted in your Skilljar organization.
3. Click the event name of the live event you want to update.
4. For each student:
1. Optional: Add the student’s score and the maximum score.
2. Optional: Set a success status as Passed or Failed.

Frequently asked questions

I get an error message when I try to upload my CSV. How do I successfully upload my CSV?

For successful upload, the file needs to be saved as a comma-separated file (.csv). The file type .csv is used interchangeably for comma-separated files and comma-delimited files, so ensure you’re choosing the correct type when saving your file: comma-separated file. On a PC, comma-separated files are denoted as CSV (Macintosh).

I marked a student as attended by accident, and I want to revert this status. How do I do this?

You can download the CSV for the event, then update the attended_Y_N cell, then upload the CSV.:

• For past events, you need to set the attended_Y_N status as either Y or N, not blank.
• For future events, you can set the attended_Y_N status as Y, N, or blank, to indicate that the event has not yet occurred.
