How to Upload a One-Time File in the Integrations Center – Abre.io

Use a one-time upload for a file you receive occasionally, such as finalized state assessment results or historical data. Each upload loads that file once. Recurring delivery keeps day-to-day data current.

🔐

Permissions required

You need the Integrations Center Administrator or System Administrator role. Contact your local Abre administrator for help with permissions. Permissions are managed under People → Administration → Permissions.

Before you upload

Confirm you’ve selected the correct integration for the data.
Review the file in a spreadsheet and confirm it contains the intended records.
Use .csv or tab-delimited .txt, with the headers and layout required by that integration.
Confirm which school year the file covers.
For a new data source or initial core-data setup, coordinate with Abre Support before proceeding.

⚠️

Check before importing

One-time uploads remain in Abre permanently. Only Support can remove them. Use verified data rather than test files, and double-check the file and school year before clicking IMPORT DATA.

Upload the file

Open the Integrations Center and select the Integrations tab.
Type the integration name into Search Integrations.
Open the three-dot Actions menu on that integration’s row.
Click Upload.

Actions vary by integration. Choose Upload when it is available; Automated Integration is a different menu option.

Check that the One-Time Import window shows the correct integration name.
Expand File Format Requirements and compare your file with the requirements shown.
Click Select School Year and choose the year the file covers.
Drag the file into the drop zone, or click to browse for it.
Check the selected file and year one more time, then click IMPORT DATA.

Some integrations offer From File as a school-year option. Use it only when your file matches the date column and format specified for that integration. Choosing the year yourself is usually simpler.

If the window says No format defined for this job and you don’t already have a confirmed layout, ask Abre Support which format to use before importing.

Confirm the result

Return to the Integrations tab.
Open the integration and review its status and Sync History.
If the run needs attention, read the full message before uploading another file.
Allow the next daily dashboard refresh before checking reports for the new data.

The uploaded file won’t appear on the Files tab. That tab shows your recurring-delivery SFTP folder; one-time imports follow a separate path.

Uploaded file names are handled automatically on arrival. Exact file-name matching matters for recurring SFTP deliveries.

If you imported the wrong file or school year, contact support@abre.com for help removing it.
