The Mass Assign Alternate IDs tool is used to import alternate IDs, such as RFID numbers from a CSV file. If Alternate Identifier is enabled in Scanner Settings, students can scan in/out at kiosks and scanners using the Alternate ID.
CSV File Format
The CSV file to be imported should contain two columns. The first column will include the student identifier (student number, person ID or state ID) that exists in Campus, and the second column contains the alternate ID.
The file should not have a header row.
