Group and new user import

To create import files, follow these guidelines:
For all import types except for new users use an Excel worksheet. To import new users download the
Import New Users XML
 by downloading the template. (see below) Enter each field's data into separate columns (Field Number 1 in Column A, Field Number 2 in Column B, Field Number 3 in Column C, and so on). Once you've entered all the data, save the file as a .csv (comma-separated values) file. If you have numeric account numbers that start with a leading zero, format these numbers as text by adding a leading apostrophe.
For all imports except the
Locator – Group Assignment
, you can use placeholders after the first row for Group Name and Group Location. On the first row, fill in Group Name in Column A and Group Location in Column B. For subsequent rows, leave Columns A and B blank unless you need to specify a different Group Name or Group Location.
For
Locator – Group Assignment
 imports, ensure that each row or record in the import file contains all five specified fields in the required data format.

Import new users

  1. Select
    Admin
    Access Control Imports
    .
  2. Select
    Download Template
     to use to import new users.
  3. Save the file to your computer.
  4. To edit the import information in your XML file, you must change the XML template into an editable format. To do this, go to the drive and path where you saved and renamed the XML, and right-click the XML name. Select

    .
  5. By default, the file opens in Notepad. If you select another TXT format, open the XML using the

     option.
  6. When the XML import template opens in a TXT format, it will display the information ready to be edited.
  7. You can import more than one new user at a time through XML import. To do this within the TXT template, copy and paste the initial user’s information (from the beginning
    New User
     tag to the ending New User tag) and edit each of the subsequent users information based on each user’s profile.
  8. Once you enter the new user values and save the file as an XML, import the new user XML file in the
    Access Control Imports
     page.
  9. In the
    Select Files
     option, find the XML for the user you want to create.
  10. Populate the
    File Name
     field, making sure that the file type is XML (*.xml).
  11. Your XML template will appear in the
    Import New User Select Files
     dialog.
  12. When the correct import template appears in the import dialog, select
    Import
    .

  2. Right-click the TXT document and select
    File
    , then
    Save As
    .
  3. Make sure the drive and path point to the correct location where you want to save the XML template.
