Importing personnel data from a CSV file

Importing personnel data is the quickest way to set up personnel records in the station database. This procedure imports the data into the Supervisor station’s database.

Prerequisites: The CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file that contains personnel information exists and is ready to use. The Wiegand format has been identified or created and is ready. A Wiegand Format has been selected.

NOTE: The Import Info function only works at a Supervisor station.

Navigate to System Setup > Access Setup > Additional Personnel Entry.
The Additional Personnel Entry view opens.
Open the Tenant Ref Chooser () and select the tenant name.
Open the Wiegand Format Ref Chooser and select the card format.
Enter the User Pass Key and click the Browse button to find the CSV file.
To initiate the import, click Save.

NOTE: When you open an exported CSV file, long credential numbers display in scientific notation.

The import process runs as a job and displays a list of errors (if any) at the end of the process.
To confirm that the data are in the station database, click Personnel, followed by clicking People, Badges, Access Rights and observing the new data.
