Multi-Doc Importing allows your school district to upload multiple PDF documents at one time into the SchoolFront system. The documents must have one of the following identifiers (Employee ID, Social Security #, TEACH ID) so that each document will map to the correct employee file within the system.

Manually Verify Results
It is recommended that you select Manually Verify Results when using a new Process Form to initialize a Multi-Document Upload.
When there is an issue with the employee information, or there were employees who did not get a match within the system, the Number of Pages Missing Employee Information will have a number as shown below.
-
Click Manually Verify Results
- In the Manual Verification of Parsed Document pop-up, scroll to the bottom of the window to see the highlighted page that contains the error
- If you have a page that needs to be deleted from the file, check the box for Delete this page
(Top of pop-up)
(Bottom of pop-up)
- Click the highlighted page number to open the page and determine the error
- If the Verification Status says, "No Employee Match" and we can see the Employee ID number in the form displayed (Whatever the error, it should be able to be fixed in SchoolFront or the other source document and then re-inserted if needed):
-
Click the drop-down menu and select the appropriate employee
- Click Save & Close
-
Now that file is fully verified, click Parse
The uploaded file will then follow the rules of the Process Form. An email notification will go out, approvers/ signatures will be required if defined, and the form will upload to the selected personnel folder.
