When imports are useful
Imports are helpful when setting up many users, updating staff details in bulk, or preparing an organisation before launch.
Before you import
Clean the spreadsheet first. The more complete the file is, the less correction work you will need later.
- Use one row per person.
- Check that emails are unique.
- Use unit names that already exist or can be matched clearly.
- Check supervisor names or emails before upload.
- Download and use the provided template when available.
