Special Considerations when Bulk Importing Users

General

1. This spreadsheet can be used to bulk import or update multiple users in Vismo, and to automatically add them to groups. Some columns are mandatory, and some are optional. Please refer to specific columns below for details.
2. Please do not leave blank rows within the spreadsheet. If the import process encounters an entirely blank row, it will stop the import process at that point.
3. Please do not delete entire columns. If a value is not required for a column, please leave the cell empty.
4. The import process starts from row 3. Please leave the first 2 rows as provided.

Groups
