Data Management Dictionary and Sample CSV Files
The Data Management Dictionary gives you all the information you need to know about what data to populate your Data Management files with. Each file is used to import different data into Blackboard Institutional Effectiveness products.
Files should be imported in the same order they are numbered in the Data Management Dictionary.
Within the Data Management Dictionary, we supply you with the following information for each file:
