Using CSV user import
- Verba Support
Overview
You can upload user information using CSV file. Click on the Browse button to locate the CSV file on your hard disk, than press the Upload button.
You can export these files from Excel, or create them manually by following the rules below:
- Each record must be on separate line
- The fields must be separated by commas or semicolons (the appropriate option has to be selected on the upload page)
- If you cannot add a field, leave it empty (do not skip fields at the end of the row, leave them empty e.g. ;;; )
- If you need comma or semicolon or new line character in a field, you have to surround the entire field with quotation marks ("this is a field, with a comma")
- If you need quotation mark in a field, you have to insert double quotation marks instead of one and you also have to surround the entire field with quotation marks ("this is a field with ""quotations" ")
- The system automatically trims spaces from the beginning and the end of the field
- You can leave the header row in the CSV file, but on the upload page, you have to check the Skip First Row (Heading) option
After uploading the file you will see the contents of the file in a table format and you can make changes to the values before executing the import.
