The Imports tab

The Imports tab is where user imports happen: bring your teachers, admins, students, and families into Musician Quest from your studio management system's CSV exports.

The three-step flow

1. Drop your CSV files. Drag your exported lists into the upload area, together or one at a time. The format is detected automatically - Opus1 staff and subscriptions exports and My Music Staff contact-list exports are all supported.
2. Preview the data. A preview and validation run right in your browser before anything is imported - you see exactly what will be created and can catch problems first.
3. Start the import. Click Import users, and the accounts are created.

A View import history link shows every past import.

Importing from Opus1

If your studio runs on Opus1, export two lists:

• Staff list: Staff → All Staff → Export CSV
• Subscriptions list: Reporting → Subscriptions (with Appointments Only checked) → Export CSV: All Columns

Drop them together or one at a time. Each list also works alone:

• The staff list alone imports teachers - plus admin and manager staff if you opt them in during the preview.
• The subscriptions list alone imports students and families, linking their classes to same-named teachers already in your school.

When imported people are first welcomed by email

Importing does not email everyone right away. Welcome emails go out at the natural starting point for each role:

• Admins & Managers - immediately on import
• Teachers - when a Quest is first assigned to them by an admin
• Families & Students - when a Quest is first assigned to them by a teacher

This staggered flow is what makes a low-pressure rollout possible: import your whole roster on day one, and families hear nothing until their teacher assigns their student a Quest. (See: Your Setup Path in the Getting Started collection.)

Tips

• Import early, assign deliberately. Since imports are silent for teachers and families, there's no reason to wait - get your people in, then control the pace with Quest assignments.
• Use the preview. It's your chance to spot a malformed export or a wrong file before any accounts exist.
• Check the Emails tab afterward. Once assignments start, the Emails tab confirms welcome emails are being delivered. (See: The Emails Tab.)

Draft note: add Imports tab screenshot; document the manual/non-CSV add flow for single users. (Confirmed: My Music Staff is supported alongside Opus1.)
