Importing a List of Users
It may also be helpful to take advantage of the
Import Users
feature to save
time. You can import users into the application from a text file using a comma
separated format. The fields available for data import are the same fields listed in
the
Add User
section.
Fields cannot be left empty with the exception of
Password
. If passwords are not
supplied in the text file
, PSV will set it to the word “
password
” by default.
To import a list of users:
1.
From the main menu click
Options

Users

Import Users
button
4.

Browse
to locate the file
5.
Click the
Import Users
button.
PSV will add users one by one into the application. When complete, the number of
users imported successfully will be displayed as well as details of any errors that
may have occurred.
Creating User Groups
In large organizations it may be helpful to organize users into groups based on
admin status, user status or by any number of criteria. This feature should not be

User Groups
area to help identify if an individual has been assigned to a group.
