Clients can automatically import a large set of data (collection of records and images) into Badge via SFTP.

Guide

• Image Format

Record Format

Before uploading a new file, please review the following: 

• Column fields must be the following data type:

• yyyy-mm-dd (e.g., 2023-05-12)
• yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss (e.g., 2023-05-12 05:45:07)
• mm/dd/yyyy (e.g., 2023/05/12)
• mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss (e.g., 2023/05/12 05:45:07)

• Files must be saved as a CSV file and less than 5MB

• Required Column Fields: ID and Campus

The ID column will be the student/staff ID.

The Campus column will be the student/staff's location (e.g., School, Office, Store). 

Column names are case sensitive and should exactly match the column name in Badge.  

(i.e., A column name "Sampleton District" in the CSV file will not import to the column name "sampleton district" in Badge.)

• Do not import any fields that do not require sorting, filtering, printing, or identification purposes

Image Format

Do not type the .jpg/.jpeg or .png extension when renaming the image files. Save the images as a JPG/JPEG or PNG. 

Before uploading a new image, please review the following:

• Image files must be saved as .JPG/JPEG or .PNG

• Image files must be less than 100 KB

• The total size of the image files uploaded at once must be less than 1 GB

• The name of the image file must match the record's ID. (e.g., Student ID is 512, image file should be "512")
