• accepted - Delete accepted invitations
• invitations - Delete pending invitations
• all - Delete accepted and pending invitations

Selected students, old style

gam delete guardian|guardians <GuardianItem> <StudentItem>

Synchronize guardians

Gam deletes any pending guardian invitations and accepted guardians that are not in <GuardianEntity> and sends invitations to the members in <GuardianEntity> that don't have a pending invitation or have not accepted.

gam <UserTypeEntity> sync guardian|guardians <GuardianEntity>

Example

Your school SIS produces a CSV file, StudentGuardians.csv, each evening with two columns: Student,Guardian. There is no indication as to what changes have been made from the night before. The following command will perform the necessary changes.

gam csvkmd users StudentGuardians.csv keyfield Student datafield Guardian sync guardians csvdata Guardian

By default, when writing CSV files, Gam uses a quote character of double quote ". The quote character is used to enclose columns that contain the quote character itself, the column delimiter (comma by default) and new-line characters. Any quote characters within the column are doubled. When using the formatjson option, double quotes are used extensively in the data resulting in hard to read/process output. The quotechar <Character> option allows you to choose an alternate quote character, single quote for instance, that makes for readable/processable output. quotechar defaults to gam.cfg/csv_output_quote_char. When uploading CSV files to Google, double quote " should be used.
