Manage Prospect/Student Import Jobs

Prior to adding the data file to the CAMSImportGeneric SQL table and Defining Import Parameters, it is necessary to create an import job. Data files to be imported will be associated with an import job. CAMS does not import more than one file per import job.

To create an Import Job:

Click Tools >Import >Admissions >Prospect/Student Import Jobs. The Prospect/Student Import Jobs window opens.
Right-click in the data grid to open the Prospect/Student Import Jobs detail entry form.
Enter the Job Name, maximum 50 alphanumeric characters. This will display in the Import Job field selection list in the Prospect/Student Import window.
Enter the Job Description, maximum 255 alphanumeric character. This displays in the Import Jobs data grid and can be used to provide greater detail about the job.
Click Add to save the Import Job, or Cancel to exit without saving.

To delete a job from the Import Job data grid, highlight the appropriate Import Job and then click Delete. The job is removed from the data grid and will no longer display in the Import Job field selection list in the Prospect/Student Import window.
