As you can see, the first line contains the names of fields the values correspond to. Whilst it is useful for some purposes, it may wreak havoc during import. For this reason, you will have the option to skip the first line while importing data from a CSV file.
Import a list of users
To import a list of users, follow these steps:
- Go to Activity Center | More actions (
) | Import from CSV.
- Select Users from the "Import list of" drop-down list.
- Once in the Import users screen, click on "Choose file", and find the source CSV file.
- Select a list separator.
- Select the Skip first line of the file checkbox (refer to the second note above) if required.
- Click "Next".
- Perform field mapping, i.e. link fields of the users being imported with Birdview ones. Use "Add fields" to get new fields to map.
- Click "Import".
You will get the message "Import completed. X records were imported successfully." if import has been successful.
5-user temporary license for extra users
When you try to create or import users beyond the limit permitted by your license, a temporary license with a 5-day grace period is automatically generated and applied. All you need to do is to purchase an additional license for the extra number of users within the grace period.
Upon closing the message window, a Birdview Customer Portal page will open in a new tab where you can complete the purchase of the additional licenses.
You can either complete the purchase now, or postpone it till later but within the grace period.
