SAM Import Errors Report
The SAM Import Errors report allows a review of the enrollment records as provided by the campus to SAM. Whether the data transmission uses Connect Once or flat file method, the SAM Import Error report is a great investigative tool to determine when the most recent enrollment records were submitted by the campus and if there were errors associated with any of those records.
By using the Show All Rows checkbox before selecting a line to analyze, the user can inspect in detail all rows submitted. Further detail is available after selection of a row by using the Click to display all data checkbox to expand the detail displayed for each enrollment record.
Carefully examine the Status and Status Detail columns to determine the cause of any error and the recommended support path. View the SAM Import Errors - Detail screen below.
