Important Notes
ParentID and Email must be unique. If multiple rows contain the same ParentID, only one contact will be created, with each row updating the previously imported record
If multiple rows contain the same Email, only one contact will be created, with each row updating the previously imported record.
If you do not want parents to attach students to their accounts, disable this option in Global Setup / Business Setup under Miscellaneous by unchecking "Allow parents to attach and detach students."
Where to Check Imported Data?
The Parent File imports contact records only.
Admins can check the Contacts page in the Admin UI to verify the imported parents.
