3. Drag file to upload or click Browse Files to choose the file and then click Import.
4. Then click Validate and Complete to upload.
When the file is uploaded, it could take several minutes to several hours for the import to be completed. The number of users being imported will affect how long the import takes to complete. Once the imported file has been processed, you will receive an email notifying you that it is either successful or there were issues. The email will note how many records processed successfully and the reason if any failed.
If any records fail to import, you will want to move those records to a new template and upload that new template to complete the import.
Keep your User Import handy when doing a Points Import so that you can copy and paste the User info over.
