Admin Portal: Identifiers

Applying unique identifiers to enrollment records

Updated over a week ago

A unique identifier is required to manage your students, teachers, classes, and organizations. The Identifier can be any string of alphanumeric characters, but it must be unique throughout your district. The format and source of the Identifier will depend upon your primary enrollment source.

The required identifier for staff and students (user ID) or classes (class ID) can be any string of alphanumeric characters, but it must be unique throughout your district. To make it easy for staff to find the class by ID, we recommend creating IDs that are memorable and relevant to the class and assigned staff members.

Unique identifiers are case sensitive.

If you use Batch Upload, the identifier is set by the fields for schoolId, classId, or userId.

For districts managing their Amplify enrollment entirely through the Admin Portal, if an Identifier has been submitted incorrectly and needs to be revised, you can:

  • Update the value directly in the Admin Portal on their profile page, or

  • Update a Batch Upload file where all other data for the user remains the same. For example: Student “Leena Parath” has the email address student-parath@school.edu. Her ID was entered as 300 but it is actually 301. In the users.csv file uploaded to Admin Portal, as long as the only value that has changed is the userId for the student (and no other student has that userId), then Leena’s student ID will be updated.

If Clever is your primary enrollment method, an Identifier is recommended, but not required.

Amplify highly discourages providing a 9-digit number that corresponds to the staff or student’s social security number as their unique identifier.

Secondary ID

Secondary IDs are supported in Admin Portal by uploading userDistrictId or userStateId for the teacher or student using Batch Upload. Secondary IDs are not visible in the application itself, but stored in our databases. Contact Amplify Technical Onboarding for more secondary ID information.
