  1. Click the Bulk Update tab.

  2. Under the Upload section, select your CSV file separator formatting from the Upload Formatting Options dropdown.

    • Supported separators are comma, decimal, and semi-colon.
  3.  Either drag and drop your users file into the Upload box or click the choose a file hyperlink to browse for the file on your computer.
    • Full and partial files are accepted.
  4. Click the Upload button once it becomes selectable.
    • If you choose the wrong file by accident, remove the incorrect file once it is available and then upload the correct file by completing the previous steps.

Status of Uploaded Files

The status of uploaded files will show once the file has completed processing.

  • If no errors are present, your file has been uploaded successfully.
  • If an error is present, continue onto the next section.

Status history will display for the last 1,000 uploaded files. If you need assistance with retrieving a historical file, please contact Support.

Errors

Errors will display as either a file level error, or a record level error within the file.

  • A file level error indicates an issue with the file itself. This typically happens if column headers are missing.
  • A record level error indicates an issue with a specific record(s) in the file itself. An example of a record level error is an invalid value in the column of the uploaded file.

If you click Download to view, there will be a new Error column. The exact error will display in the row(s) where the issue was found.

You are able to download and then re-upload the same file for bulk updating. If a file with an Error column is provided, the Error column will be ignored to allow for reprocessing.
