Pro: Import Data via CSV (Column Mapping)

Voltora Academy Pro can bulk-import teachers, categories, courses, students, enrollments, and grades from a CSV file. The import uses a column-mapping step so your CSV headers line up with the plugin's fields.

This article walks through the Map Columns screen and the recommended import order.

  1. On the Academy Management Dashboard, click Import Data.
  2. Follow the Recommended Import Order banner: 1. Teachers/Categories → 2. Courses → 3. Modules → 4. Students → 5. Enrollments → 6. Grades. Import in this sequence so references resolve.

  • A column you do not need can be set to — Skip this column — so its data is ignored.
  • After clicking Run Import Package, the import will begin and you will be able to monitor the progress and see a success message. If there is a failure to import, the reason will be displayed.
  • Importing is a Pro-only feature.
