3. How do I update Pupil Data in TrackAble
TrackAble offers two simple methods for updating pupil information. You can update records manually within the system or prepare updates in a spreadsheet and request an upload. Follow the steps below to choose the method that works best for you.
Method 1: Update Pupil Information Manually
Use this method if you only need to update a small number of pupils.
Steps
-
Go to Admin > Pupils.
-
Find the pupil you need to update and click the Edit button.
-
Make the required changes to their details.
-
Save your updates.
If You Need to Add a New Class
If the pupil is moving to a class that does not yet exist:
-
Go to Admin > Lists > Classes.
-
Select Add Class.
-
Enter the class name.
-
Set Group Type to TUTOR.
-
Save the new class.
This class will now appear in the pupil’s drop-down options.
Method 2: Update Pupil Records Using a Spreadsheet
This method is ideal when you need to update several pupils at once.
Steps
-
Go to Reporting and run the Pupil Report for all pupils.
-
Download the report into Excel.
-
Update pupil details in the spreadsheet (e.g., new classes, new pupils).
-
Email the updated spreadsheet to
support@trackable.org.uk
Our team will upload the changes for you.
Important Rules for Spreadsheet Uploads
To ensure your data can be uploaded successfully:
-
Do NOT remove, move, or rename any columns.
-
Do NOT add new columns.
-
Keep all data formats the same (e.g., date formats).
-
Every pupil must have a unique UPN.
-
Only update existing fields—avoid structural changes.
Archiving Pupils Who Have Left
Pupils who have left your school must be manually archived.
