Import Rules ·
- Important: If any of the fields in the CSV file are left blank and you choose to update existing user information from the import file, any information that already exists for those blank fields will be removed in the user's account.
- The group's field is optional in the User's CSV. If used, one or more groups can be defined and separated by semi-colons and the user will become a member of those groups. If the group does not exist then the group will be created. ·
- The preferred server field is the user's preferred server URL, as defined in the ServerURL.npdta file (set in the Details tab of users' account details). Either the full URL can be specified, or an integer value. This value is case-insensitive and if no match is found then the default preferred server will be used.
- The first line in the CSV file is ignored as it will be assumed that this contains column header information.
- A log file (GroupImport.log) is created in the root of the Process Repository, listing the results of the import.
- Distinguished names must be unique in Group's CSV.
