The Mass Add Student Related Data feature in Aeries® SIS allows users with appropriate permissions to add a record into a table for many students. Below are a few examples of tables for which this feature may be useful:

  • Activities (ACT) records for all the members of a club or athletic team
  • Fees (FEE) records for all students in a certain PE or lab science course
  • Conference (CNF) or Visitation (VIS) records
  • Medical tests (e.g., Hearing (HRN), Vision (VSN), etc.) administered to a group of students on the same day

The utility of this feature is by no means limited to the above examples.


Students can be selected by typing or pasting a list of student ID numbers. They can also be selected by Grade, Counselor/Teacher, Class, or by utilizing a Keep or Skip in Query. This provides great flexibility in choosing which students should have the new record added to the selected table.


The Mass Add Student Related Data page is located under School Info | Functions in the navigation menu.
