Smart Data Exchange^™

At the beginning of each school year, teachers may be able to receive class and student data from the administration in an electronic, computerized form. Such data is usually contained in a standard text file. The data may originally have been compiled on a spreadsheet or it may have been exported from a large administration program. Similarly, at the end of each grading period, semester, or year, or even at the end of a day, a teacher may need to send grade, comment or attendance information to the school's administration software.

Grade Machine's extensive Smart Data Exchange capabilities are the perfect solution. School teachers are able to communicate electronically with school administration software, thereby eliminating the need to type in class lists or fill out endless bubble sheets!

Our Smart Data Exchange feature is extremely flexible in its ability to import and export standard text files in virtually any format. It can even append to or update existing files, or remember and save to a particular location. Smart Data Exchange also has enhanced capabilities that enable it to handle attendance and the class information fields that are used by most administration packages.

Designed with both administrators and teachers in mind, Smart Data Exchange offers the power and flexibility to enable school or district administrators, or "power users", to design their own interface filters, and then easily distribute these filters to all teachers in a school. Teachers can use filters to import and export with just a few simple menu options.
