ThinkCentral (TC)

Include the product codes (ISBNs) in the import template.

 

Note:

      Product codes are entered in the Products field (column U) of the import file. (See Locate ISBN Codes for details.)

Important:

      Personal Math Trainer (PMT) products cannot be added via import; PMT products can only be activated on the TC Add Class or Edit Class pages.

(See TC-Add Classes or TC-Edit Classes for details.)

      For TC, free play products can be added using an import file, but products cannot be removed using an import file. Product allocation is determined by the grade level entered in the first import when a class is created. For this reason, it is important to get the grade levels of the classes correct when the original import is submitted.

      To remove products after the original import, you must return to the TC platform and remove them manually for every class or you must request a data purge and re-import your data.

(See TC-Edit Classes or Purge Data for details.)

i.      Leave the Products field (column U) of the import file empty.

ii.     Return to ThinkCentral to activate products by doing one of the following:
