Allovue Manage is a read-only platform. Data in Allovue Manage is imported by the organization’s ERP on a nightly or hourly basis.
-
Districts that choose to send Allovue data on a nightly or hourly basis will need to supply the correct data elements required for a Manage integration.
-
Districts that choose to provide flat files via SFTP will be responsible for maintaining any scheduled mechanisms to provide Allovue with the required data elements on a nightly or hourly basis.
Format
Data provided to Allovue should be sent nightly via SFTP hosted and provided by Allovue. Files should be formatted in the following manner:
-
All files should be in pipe-separated variable format (“|” pipe). These files can be saved with a .txt or .csv extension.
-
If pipe-separated data is not available, CSV or Microsoft Excel (XLSX) are also possible.
-
All data sets should have headers with the appropriate internal names of each attribute.
-
Any special characters should be properly quoted or escaped to ensure readability of the resulting files.
-
File names should be named for the entity, with underscores (_), all lower case, and contain any date elements required.
