Create a Text File for Batch Processing

Instructions from the Office of the University Registrar for creating a text file for processing a batch request for multiple students.
 

  1. Open Notepad.
    • Use the taskbar search option to search for Notepad and select the app.
    • Select the Windows Start icon in the taskbar to open the app list. From the Windows Accessories folder, select Notepad
  2. Enter the OSU ID of each student for whom a process is needed, one ID per line with no spaces or punctuation.
  3. There can be no duplicate IDs on the list—this will stop the process and the reports will not all be produced.
  4. Save the file in a location you can find easily.
