How do I update users through a CSV import?
With Mojo Helpdesk, you can update your users in bulk using a CSV file import.
- Prepare your CSV file for import.
- Note if the helpdesk has the most recent data, you can export your users as a starting point.
- You can import up to 3000 users at a time.
- File must be saved in CSV (comma separated values) format to import. Make sure your CSV file is encoded with UTF-8, to avoid any encoding errors.
- If you have any custom fields, you can update the custom fields on your user profiles. Note the custom fields need to be created before the import.
- Once you have an updated CSV file of your users, go to
Admin Settings -> Import Data
. Select the CSV file to import and then click Next. - The helpdesk will detect the number of records. Since you're updating existing users, make sure to put a check mark on the
Update existing users
check box. - The email field is mandatory and will be used as the unique identifier for the upload. Match the CSV columns of the import to the Mojo fields.
- Click
Import
Tips on setting up the CSV file and matching fields:
- You can map the CSV file fields to the corresponding fields in Mojo Helpdesk.
- Below are the standard (existing) fields in a Mojo user profile:
- First Name- Middle Name
- Last Name
- Password
- Company
- Work Phone
- Cell Phone
- Home Phone
- Notes
- The email field is mandatory. You must have an email address entered for the user to import.
- When importing users, the user welcome email (login information) will NOT be sent to the new users unless you check the option to "notify new users".
- The password entered should be at least 6 characters long, or left blank.
- If the password field is left blank, the system will generate a random password for the new user on import.
- Any new values in the group/company field in the CSV import will be added to the helpdesk as a new group.
- If the group field is blank in the CSV import, the the user will be placed in the ‘Individuals’ group on import.
