2. Select Needing Validation.

1. Double click the Validation cell to open the Validation window.

1. All data needing validation will display in the left menu. Select Demographics to validate the demographic part of the file.

3. Select Actions.

1. Choose Create New Demographic to have the demographic be created as new within eduCLIMBER.

1. • The Demographic Name will display as it was displayed on the file. Choose to keep the name or edit to a different name.
   • Identify the Demographic Type:
     • Date, Number, Option, Yes/No, Text
   • Identify if the demographic should be applied to all school years by toggling on All School Years.
   • Click Save to save the demographic.
   • Important to note:
     • The default settings on the demographic will be:
       • Restricted 
       • Not displayed on the Student Profile, Datawalls, or smartFORMS
     • Once the demographic is created, it can be manually managed/edited within eduCLIMBER. 
2. Choose to Alias to Demographic to have the uploaded demographic added to an already existing demographic.

• Identify the Demographic by selecting the already created demographic from the dropdown menu and click Alias.

• Note that aliasing a demographic can also be completed on the initial validation screen by double-clicking in the Alias To cell and identifying the alias from the menu.
• When a demographic is aliased, all demographic configurations as set on the already-created demographic will still apply.
