Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the administrator menu and looking for the earlier CAS import mentioned in the report; clarify the Banner columns, supported CSV/XLSX formats, and term mapping. Done means an administrator can import a specified term and see the parsed course data rendered.

Description

major task

Original report by Bria Williams (Bitbucket: BriaWilliams1202, ).


Within the menu, we would like for the administrator to have an option to import a .csv or .xlsx file to upload courses for a specified term. When imported, the spreadsheet should be parsed in order to render the data that the administrator is requesting. Course data being imported will come from a Banner export.

An import similar this has been implemented before (most likely in CAS).

Will continue to add more details to this issue.
