CREATING AN UPLOAD USERS FILE (SPREADSHEET)

Example of what an upload user spreadsheet should look like.

  • The easiest way for a customer to be able to upload users properly is to follow the structure of the example spreadsheet that is available to download from the Upload Users page.

  • When creating a spreadsheet of users to upload its important to understand that NO FORMATTING WITHIN THE SPREADSHEET will be accepted into the system. All cells must only contain pure data. Even a formula or note inside of a blank cell will prevent the file from uploading properly.

  • The example spreadsheet contains headers to let you know where to input specific information. When uploading a user You may upload a file with headers, however; you must check off the “first row has headers” box.
