Can I import course request alternates?

In looking at the available data import sample files for Course Requests, it does not appear that any of the files include the ability to add alternates. Is this correct? If so, how are you bulk-adding course requests + alternates? Just in bulk-adding in Academics → Scheduling → Requests and Schedules → Enter Requests?

    Unfortunately, there's no option to import alternates. Found that out the hard way! You can import student's primary requests, then manually add alternates through Academics > Scheduling > Requests & Recommendations List. If the primary request you're adding should have the same alternates for multiple students, you can go to Academics > Scheduling > Requests and Schedules > Enter Requests > Bulk add requests and can include alternates this way to a group of students.
