Updating Existing Graduate Records Using the Data Cleaning Tool
Objective: Maintain and update data for graduates who have already been imported.
Identify Changes: Determine if an existing record needs an update (e.g., a change in honors status, correcting a school name, etc).
- Navigate to the Data Fields module and edit the predefined values if corrections need to be made.
- Any affected graduate will be flagged as needing corrections in the Data Cleaning tool.
Apply Updates: Use the Data Cleaning tool to bulk-update existing records to match the new field requirements.
Like correcting graduate data upon import, you can bulk correct graduate data by selecting the new correct value for all affected grads, or update graduates
records individually.
Make sure you have no data errors prior to your data deadline.
