If you use a third-party enrollment method, such as Clever, Classlink,or GG4L, you can use Batch Upload to roster staff that aren’t uploaded via your Student Information System (SIS). Learn more about rostering non-SIS staff. All students and permanent staff should be uploaded via your third-party enrollment method. Batch Upload is available to administrators with System and Enrollment access.
If you have access to the Upload page but the file upload box is disabled, the feature has not been activated. Please verify that a unique school ID has been applied to all organizations and contact Amplify Support to activate the Batch Upload feature.

After processing is complete, the system generates a report, and if necessary, a follow-up error report, that shows a count of records created, updated, no changes, and errors for every school, staff, class, and enrollment.
Your roster data will display in the Admin Portal as soon as it’s processed. If any changes are made directly in the Admin Portal after the initial file upload (e.g., if you edited a staff member’s name), you will need to reconcile these changes with your locally saved file.
