Preparing subject data for your private galleries

Subject data is an integral part of the private gallery workflow—it’s what ties the gallery and the PhotoDay Capture mobile app together into a singular experience.

That said, there are a few things to keep in mind when uploading subject data to your new private gallery:

  • Each column should have a clear header at the top. This will make mapping your subject data upon import easy and efficient. 

  • Do not include blank header rows or columns. Be sure the rows and columns have data in the cells.

  • CSV data should not include the following characters, which could introduce errors upon importing: / \ " ' ; : 

  • There are two column headers that are required:

    • First Name

    • Last Name

      • Additional headers that are available to be mapped:

        Student ID
        Grade
        Last Name
        First Name
        Homeroom
