# On-boarding using Microsoft School Data Sync Imports

Many student information systems offer a Microsoft School Data Sync (SDS) export of teacher, student and class setup. These files are usually used to update Microsoft Teams, but Literatu can also use these files to set up your classes, teachers and students.     

Student information systems that offer SDS exports include Synergetic, Canvas, Compass and many more. For a full list, please go to <https://sds.microsoft.com/> and click ‘**Supported SISes**’ on the top menu.

Please export the following files to use in the import.

• Section.csv

• Student.csv

• Teacher.csv

• Studentenrolment.csv

• Teacherroster.csv

When extracting your CSV please make sure you include the fields marked  **Yes** in the 'Required?' field *AND* the fields marked "**Yes (only if creating users)**"&#x20;

Once exported, you can run your **initial import** to set up Literatu with teacher, student and class accounts. The import only takes a few minutes and your teachers and students will be able to login as soon as the import finishes. &#x20;

You can also **re-import** at any time to keep Literatu updated with new students and teachers, movement between classes and so on. &#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
Once the files are exported they can be **uploaded to Literatu**. You will find instructions on the page link below.&#x20;
