Quick data formatting tips:
- Emails must be formatted in accordance with RFC 5322
- Mobile numbers must be formatted in accordance with e.164
- Ensure that there are no missing values from columns or rows
Organisation UID
We recommend including an Organisation UID (Unique IDentifier) column for each record with a Unique Identifier for each person - this will allow you to do bulk edits later should you need to do so. Ideally this should be a system-generated UID, like one generated by your CRM software. If you are not sure about what to use as a UID you could use the date and a reference number, for example 18Jun-001, 18Jun-002 etc
Important: do not use an email address or mobile number in the Organisation UID column - this column must be a value that can be guaranteed to be unique, and email addresses and mobile numbers are often not unique in registration lists. Ensure that you use system-generated UIDs in this column.
Simple Import
Contains basic fields like first name, last name, company, email, and mobile.
Intermediate Import
Contains basic fields and category assignments. This example demonstrates that when categories are represented as columns, the values for a particular category can differ from another. In this example, VIP's are marked as "Y" while Delegates are marked with a timestamp. In both scenarios we treat the blank values as false, and any other value as true (this is customizable during the import process).
