Preparing Your Data for Launch

A smooth implementation begins with clean, well-structured data. Ensuring your academic, staff, and student information is accurate and consistent reduces technical issues and prevents confusion once your platform goes live.

Why Data Preparation Matters

Preparing your data early saves time during configuration and helps your team focus on adoption, not troubleshooting. Clean data also ensures your reports, permissions, and integrations all work correctly from day one.

Data Preparation Checklist

• ✅ Academic Structure: Verify year levels, terms, subjects, and curriculum frameworks align with your school’s current structure.
• ✅ Staff Information: Confirm all staff have correct names, roles, email addresses, and assigned responsibilities.
• ✅ Student Records: Review enrolment status, year levels, and class placements for accuracy.
• ✅ Parent & Guardian Contacts: Ensure valid emails, relationships, and addresses are provided.
• ✅ Data Formatting: Use consistent capitalization, date formats, and naming conventions.
• ✅ Duplicate Check: Remove or merge duplicate records before import.
• ✅ Legacy Data: Decide what to migrate, archive, or start fresh with.

Tips for a Smooth Import

• Download the latest import templates from your Faria product’s Help Centre.
• Start small - test imports with sample data first.
• Keep original copies of your raw data files.
• Use the same naming conventions across systems to simplify integrations.
• Contact Support if you’re unsure about mapping or formatting fields.
