File Naming Conventions for Data Files
When you create new data files, it is important that you name the files according to the file naming convention described below so that Riverside can import your data files into DataManager successfully. The file naming convention for DataManager data files is as follows:
action_myrpcfctpname_testfamily_filetype_mmddyy.csv
The valid values for each segment of the file name are described in the following table.
Example - New Data File
New student data file for Iowa Assessments testing for District 220:
new_district220rpcftp_iowa_student_020212.csv
Note: When Riverside imports the location and student data files into DataManager, a roster named district220rpcftp_iowa_020212 is created.
Example - Update Data File
Update to location data for an existing Riverside Interim Assessments Math roster named district220rpcftp_riamath_091811:
upd_district220rpcftp_riamath_location_091812.csv
Example - Deactivate Data File
Deactivation of the district220rpcftp_cogat_041012 roster:
deactivate_district220rpcftp_cogat_student_041012.csv
