Important Reminder: User accounts are unique by username, not by email/first/last names. If you change a username on any import sheet, it will create a NEW user account when imported. Usernames can only be changed by going into the individual user's profile.

To bulk import multiple users:
- Click Admin > User Management (or just Users).
- Click on the ellipses, then Import Users.
- Follow the prompts to download the Import Template and Cheat Sheet. Always download a new copy for each import (whenever Roles, Locations, or Custom field data is changed, so will the import requirements).
- Fill out the spreadsheet template with help from the Cheat Sheet where needed. These steps are also provided on the Import tool.
- You can leave some fields blank to update another time, but some are required for the import. The Cheat Sheet will tell you what must be included.
- Save the spreadsheet template to your computer and click the Import button.
- Once you click Import, you will see a confirmation popup. Click Confirm to proceed with the import, or cancel if you wish to make amendments to the spreadsheet before importing.
- If successful, you will get a success message; and then a prompt to send the activation emails to the new users.
- Clicking "Send Activation Emails" will send the emails immediately to all newly added users.
- You do not have to send the activation emails straight away - you can wait until another time. Just click Do Not Send if you do not want to send them.
Further details on Activation emails (including troubleshooting) can be found here.
- If there is an error on the import spreadsheet, you will see an error message on the screen and will be provided a copy of the error report. This will highlight all the cells with errors in green. The majority of the time it's simply missing information, or that the Brand/Workplace/Role isn't entered exactly the same as what's currently in the system.
- Use the Cheat Sheet to help resolve the errors. Save the spreadsheet, and import again. See Step 8 above on successful import.
