Importing users via a CSV file
You can import multiple users in bulk from a comma separated values (CSV) file, rather than
add users one at a time, as described in “The User tab” on page 11-12.
To prepare a comma-separated values (CSV) file for importing
1 In Microsoft Excel or a text editor such as Notepad, create a new file. See “Import Users
CSV file format” on page 11-100 for the required layout of this file.
2 Add each user to be imported as a separate row, and enter the appropriate information for
each column.
3 Save the file as a CSV file to any location on the Wave Server.
To import users from a CSV file
1 In the Global Administrator Management Console, start the User/Group Management
applet.
2 Click
File > Import and Export.
3 In the Import and Export Wizard, click
Import Users. Click Next to continue.
4 In the Select Import Source dialog, select
CSV (comma delimited) file. If your CSV file
does not have a row of column headers as the first row, uncheck
First record contains field
names
.
Note: Importing users from Microsoft Active Directory is not supported in this version.
5 Click
OK. Browse to the location of your CSV file, and then click Open.
6 The Edit and Review Users dialog opens, where you can make final changes before
importing. You can make the following changes:
• To edit a cell, click the cell and type the new value.
• To manually add a new user, click
New User to create a new row in the grid, then fill
in the user information.
• To add more users from another CSV file, click
Add to re-open the Select Import
Source dialog.
• To remove one or more users so that they are not imported, select the users and click
Remove. Hold down the CTRL key while clicking to select multiple users.
Note: The Export button is not supported in this version.
