Policies: How to Bulk Import Custom URLs – Ativion

When multiple URLs (also known as web addresses or links) need to be added to a policy, StudentKeeper allows you add them in bulk via a bulk import. This feature makes the task of adding URLs more efficient while minimizing the potential for errors that can occur when adding URLs individually.

This article provides instructions for importing bulk URLs to an existing policy. If your organization has not yet created a policy, please follow the steps in the knowledge base article Creating a Policy. After completing those steps, return to this article.
