The Import Student Data function allows data to be imported when converting from WinFSFR or 3rd party data. Importing student data should only be performed by Support Staff. For assistance, contact Support.
Location: Utilities → Advanced Setup → Import Student Data
Refigure Eligibility
Examines the status of students and recalculates statuses and expiration dates based on current system settings.
- the Utilities tab, locate Advanced Setup. Then, select Refigure Eligibility.
Establish eligibility refiguration standards. Then, click Ok.
- All Students
- Only students marked as affected by recent configuration changes
- Choose to Update All Application Processing Results by placing a checkmark in the box.

Reset Local Settings
The resetting of local settings allows the ability to restore any setting changes (layout, column/row positions, scanner settings, recent students/applications) to the original settings. This only affects individual user's settings.
- From the Utilities tab, locate Advanced Setup. Then, select Reset Local Settings.
- Select which local setting you wish to reset. Then, click Ok.
End of Year
End of Year processes create an archive of the current year. End of Year should not be performed until the school year has ended and all processes have been completed in all systems. End of Year must be completed in a specific order and may vary from year to year; therefore, an RSS notification will be sent out when processes may first be initiated. Complete directions for End of Year/Beginning of Year steps are located in the Knowledge Center.
Location: Utilities → Advanced → End-of-Year
Shrink Database
Databases can expand during upgrades limiting space on the server. Shrinking the database compresses files thus preventing bloated files.
- From the Utilities tab, locate Advanced. Then, select Shrink Database.
- Establish how the database should be shrunk. Then, click Ok.
- You will see a series of processes running while the database(s) is shrunk. Click Ok once the processes have completed.
