Import Classes using CSV Upload

Updated
This article is for IT Support. 

If your school does not have a Student Information System that syncs with Linewize Filter, you can use CSV Upload to import classes in bulk for Classwize.

  Tip

Use a standardised naming convention to help quickly identify each classroom. 
Example: [Year] - [Term] - [Grade] - [Subject Name] [Class Number]
2025 - Term 1 - Grade 5 - English 2

Format the CSV file

  Important

You can only import CSV files with a maximum of 500 rows. Split CSV files with more than 500 rows and upload each CSV separately.

You must format the CSV file with the following in this order:

  1. user: must match the user’s username in Linewize Filter (for example, “steve.johnson”).
  2. class: the class name (for example, classroom1)
  3. is_owner: “true” or “false”
    1. true: this user is a teacher
    2. false: this user is a student

  Example

oscar.moore classroom1 true
oscar.moore classroom2 true
steve.johnson classroom1 false
steve.johnson classroom2 false

This CSV will create two classrooms: classroom1 and classroom2. The user “oscar.moore” will be the teacher of classroom1 and classroom2, and the user “steve.johnson” will be a student in those classes.

Upload your CSV file

  1. In Linewize Filter, go to Configuration > Classwize > Classrooms.
  2. Select Import CSV.
  3. Select Upload Classrooms.
  4. Select Import.
