IMPORTANT: As OneRoster files are static documents, anytime there are changes to your roster (i.e. new enrollments, new users, new start or end dates, etc.), you will need to create and upload a new file.

Uploading a OneRoster Zip File

From the Explorer tab in Pulse, select OneRoster Secure Upload.

IMPORTANT: Only Client Admins with a OneRoster configuration in the Client Record will see the option for uploading a OneRoster zip file. If you don’t see this option and need to upload a OneRoster zip file, please contact your Client Success Specialist.

Choose Select File to choose the zip file from your computer or drag and drop your zip file into the designated area.

An appropriately formatted zip file will have the message File uploaded successfully appear and be automatically sent for course mapping.

NOTE: An inappropriately formatted zip file with the error(s) identified may appear like this. Correct your errors and re-upload the newly formatted zip file.

After your zip file has successfully been uploaded, your CSS will receive an email notification that your courses are ready to be mapped. Your CSS will contact you within 24 business hours to begin the course mapping process.

NOTE: Course mapping is matching the Lincoln product to your identified course. For instance, your course name may be English Language Arts 11, but the corresponding Lincoln product is American Literature.
