Load Data Overview

The Data Load Wizard enables organizations to upload a list or table of information into the system, eliminating the need to manually insert individual records. Data can be loaded to different parts of the system with a consistent process, allowing you to upload, review, and import data.

The Data Load Wizard can import new records or adjustments and export existing data in multiple file formats (.xls, .xlsx .csv, .txt). Note: Files loaded via the Data Load Wizard cannot contain HTML encoding. Editable templates and helpful hints guides are available for each file type for accurate importing.

Reporting is available to provide information regarding error logs and counts of records that are added or updated.

To start the Data Load Wizard, go to Admin > Tools > Core Functions > Data Load Wizard, and then click Load Data. The Data Load Wizard opens. Select the type of data you are loading and click Next. The available types of data to load are:
