Hi Folks,
I'm still looking for a way to set a start date via the flat file user upload for enrollment. I want to be able to enroll students on a Friday, for example, with a start date of Monday. I want them to be loaded in as "Not current" and then automatically become active in the course on Monday. The course date doesn't have any impact on a student's ability to access to a course if the student is "active" in the course.
This is my current workflow: I upload a flatfile for user enrollment into a course that is hidden. After uploading enrolling students into the course, in the course participants list, I select all student users, then "With selected users..." I edit selected user enrollments (under manual enrollments) and then set the "Alter start time" and "Alter end time". The students' status changes to "Not current", and then I unhide the course. The students' status automatically changes to "Active" at the start time I've set.
This works fine for one course, but is time consuming to do for 60+ courses. I'm looking for a way to accomplish enrollment that includes a "start time" for the students. I understand already how to set the enrollment period. I'm looking for a bulk flatfile solution. Help please!
