Sample data:
  Step 2) Header Create header line in the first row with the titles of each column. Available column titles are as follows.  termTitle (required column)
termStartdate (should be YYYY_MM_DD format) termEnddate (should be YYYY_MM_DD format) termNote courseTermTitle (required column) courseTitle (required column) courseLocation courseInstructor courseEmail courseWeb coursePhone courseOffice courseCredit courseNote eventTermTitle (required column) eventCourseTitle (required column) eventType (required column) eventDate (required column, should be YYYY_MM_DD format) eventStarttime (required column, should be HH_MM format) eventEndtime (should be HH_MM format) eventLocation eventNote These columns will be processed in three groups by the import program. The ones with "term" prefix will be used for term or semester, and the column with "course" and "event" prefix will be treated as course and event data. Please make sure to use only the titles listed above. If the column is not properly titled, all the values in the column will be ignored. Step 3) Rows Enter your term, course and event information from the second row.   When entering the data, please make sure your data meet following format requirements. 1. Date format All the date values should be in "YYYY_MM_DD" format. (i.e. 2011_12_31, 2012_02_08, ...) 2. Time format All the time values should be in 24 hour "HH_MM" format. (i.e. 23_59, 09_00, 15_00, ...) 3. Match term titles The value in "courseTermTitle" and "eventTermTitle" column should match to the term title in "termTitle" column. Otherwise, Class Buddy cannot associate the course and event to the right term 4. Match course title The value in "eventCourseTitle" column should match to the course title in "courseTitle" column. Like the term title, this is also critical to link the events to the right course 5. Match event type From v1.36, users are allowed to rename the event types in "Event type description" Setting. The value in "eventType" column should match to the type name defined in the Setting. For the previous versions, please use one of the following pre-defined value. "class, assignment, project, quiz, exam, meeting, lab, report, reading, exercise" 6. Include the required fields Make sure you include the required columns.
