Create Assignments from Spreadsheet
We are excited to announce that you can now create assignments for your children directly from your favorite spreadsheet program, such as Microsoft® Excel®!
We understand that a lot of people love spreadsheets and how easy it is to drag cells down, automatically populating data, and other great features.
If you are one of those people, you're going to love our new feature—it's as easy as 1-2-3!
1. Add basic information about the assignments in your spreadsheet (lesson title, start date, etc.).
2. Copy and paste the cells you want to use for creating your assignments.
3. We read the data and you verify what information is in each column.
That's it—it's really that easy!
Here are a few more details.
Type in your child's assignments to your spreadsheet. Make sure each piece of information is in a separate column. Type *** instead of a hard return or "Enter" if you want a new line in your description or other field.
Required fields are lesson title and start date. Other optional fields include a description, skills, subject category, start time, due date, lesson duration, etc.
Login to your Diligent Homeschool account and go to the assignments page. Click the "Spreadsheet" button.
Select the subject for which you are creating assignments.
Highlight the block of cells with your assignment information, copy, and paste into the page.
After submitting your block of cells, we read through the first few rows to determine what fields you are using.
Simply select from the drop-down boxes which fields you have included in each of your columns.
Submit your columns and we import all of the assignments you have copied from your spreadsheet!
We'd love to hear what you think of this new feature.
