Import Companies

Import companies from a Microsoft Excel (XLS) file. You can use this method for adding new companies or making mass updates to existing companies.

For more information about Companies see article. 

Steps for creating an import file:

1. Export an Excel file from the Administration > Company list
   • This document will act as the template for your import
   • There is a Quick Select option in the Display Options to export all columns
   • This ensures you use the required and most common data columns for the company import data
   • Quick Tip: You may want to export one company in the export as an example for the data fields needed
2. Modify the data in Excel
   • Copy/paste is your friend
3. Save the completed file as an Excel Workbook file

The format of the Excel file must be used as-is without modification to any data cell formatting prior to the import. Adding a space to a field header or changing a capital letter to a lower case letter in the field header will skip that column upon import.

The import file must also contain the following required fields:

• Name

The import process will take you through the following steps:

1. Prompt for the Excel file to import
2. List the Companies available to import
   • This page REQUIRES a checkbox by each company to import - DON'T MISS THIS
3. Confirm the completion of the import with a list of the imported Companies
