No grade field for WordPress civi school
November 11, 2012, 12:12:44 am
 hello-

I am trying to import students into a civi instance on a WordPress blog. I'm following the instructions here:http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC41/Importing+Student,+Staff+and+Parents  as closely as I can. I'm stumped because the example in the instructions as a field called "grade" but that is not an option on my installation. Am I missing something? Not available on WordPress?  needless to say, it's very important for a school.

Thanks,

Parker

Hello Parker,

First things first, What version of Civi Are you using? the documentation you are using is for v 4.1, so it may not work if you are using a different version.

As far as working around this issue, have you tried creating a custom field for Grade? that should at least allow you to import the information. Just make sure that the custom field is set as searchable, so it can be used for reports and searches.

Cheers,
Jason
