Importing Bookwork (Canvas)
Branimi can track student coursework completion by importing gradebook exports from Canvas LMS. This shows how far each student has progressed through their theory units alongside their hours progress.
Before You Import
Student emails must be entered first. The Canvas CSV matches students by their email address (the "SIS Login ID" column in Canvas). If a student doesn't have an email entered in Branimi, their bookwork data won't be matched.
To enter emails: Go to Students → Edit on each student → enter their email → Save.
How to Export from Canvas
Log into Canvas LMS
Go to the Gradebook
Export the gradebook as a CSV file
Save the file to your computer
How to Import into Branimi
Click Bookwork in the sidebar (under Administration)
Click the upload area or drag and drop the Canvas CSV file
Branimi processes the file and shows:
Total rows found in the CSV
Matched — Students whose email matched a Branimi record
Unmatched — Students in the CSV who couldn't be matched (with their email addresses listed so you can fix them)
Matched students' bookwork data is now visible across the system
Where Bookwork Data Appears
After a successful import, bookwork progress shows up in several places:
Dashboard — A teal/green bookwork bar appears below each student's hours bar, with a completion percentage on the right
Student Detail Page — Bookwork Completion card with grade, assignment count, and a full unit-by-unit breakdown table
Kiosk — When a student clocks in, their bookwork progress bar appears below their hours bar on the kiosk screen
Re-importing
You can upload a new Canvas CSV at any time. The new data replaces the previous import — it doesn't add to it. This means you can re-import weekly or as often as you like to keep bookwork data current.
Import History
Below the upload area, a table shows past imports with match/unmatched counts. This helps you track when data was last updated.
Troubleshooting
"0 matched" after import:
Check that student emails are entered in Branimi
Make sure the emails in Branimi match the "SIS Login ID" column in the Canvas CSV (case doesn't matter)
Some students matched, others didn't:
The unmatched email list tells you exactly which students weren't found
Enter or correct those emails in Branimi, then re-import
Bookwork bars not showing on Dashboard:
Bookwork bars only appear when data exists. If you just imported, refresh the page.
