Bulk adding participants

Bulk add lets you paste your roster from a spreadsheet, or type it, one student per line. It's included in the Plus and Premium plans.

How to bulk add

1. In the event's menu, choose Participants, then Bulk Add.
2. Paste or type your students into the Participants box, one per line.
3. On the right, choose Defaults for anyone whose line leaves out a grade, class or goal.
4. Choose Add Participants.

The format

Each line is: First, Last, Grade, Class, Goal, Email

Only the first and last names are required. Leave off what you don't have:

Emma, Rivera, 3rd Grade, Ms. Johnson, 250, [email protected]
Noah, Kim, 3rd Grade, Ms. Johnson
Ava, Chen, [email protected]
Liam Patel

• From a spreadsheet: arrange your columns in that order (First, Last, Grade, Class, Goal, Email), select the rows, copy and paste. Spreadsheet columns paste as tabs, which work just like commas.
• Grade must match a grade in your grade list (capital letters don't matter).
• Class can be new: classes that don't exist yet are created for you.
• Goal can be written as 250 or $250.
• Email (a parent's or guardian's) always goes last, and is recognized by its @, so you can skip the columns before it, as Ava's line does.
• A line with one name, like Liam Patel, is split at the first space.

If something's wrong

Bulk add is all or nothing: if any line has a problem, nothing is added, and you'll see a list of the lines to fix, such as "Line 4: there is no grade called "3rd". Add it under Grades first." Fix them in the box and choose Add Participants again.
