Getting Started with the User Import Wizard through the Desktop Application
Posted by Robert Joseph on 12 October 2018 01:12 PM

Whether you are populating user profiles for the first time or adding additional departments, the User Import Wizard makes this process simple. The Web-base User Import has superseded the Desktop Import Wizard. Please review the Web-base User Import https://support.savance.com/index.php?/eioboard/Knowledgebase/Article/View/678

Starting from scratch?

You will need to create an Excel spreadsheet with user data. The only required import fields to add a new user are First Name, Last Name, Email Address, User Name, and Password.

The exhaustive list of available Excel import fields are as follows: First Name, Last Name, Email Address, Phone, Ext, Cell, User Name, Password, User ID, User PIN, Title, Group List, Location Name, Static Comment, Fax, Pager, Home Phone, Home Address, Home City, Home State, Home Zip, Home Fax, and Home Email.

To see how this looks on a sample import template, download the following:
