You can import users directly into a group. This saves you having to assign imported users into groups at a later date. Of course, this only works if all the users in the Excel spreadsheet you are importing will all belong to the same group.
Importing users into a group:
From the main menu select Groups
4 Import Users.
The Import Users to Group page
will display.
In the Select Excel File to Import field, enter the path and file name of the file containing the users you want to import. You can navigate to the file if you prefer by clicking the Browse button.
From the Group Name field, select the group to assign to the imported users.
In the Expiry
Date field, enter the expiry date to be applied to all the new
users you import. After this date they will no longer be able to log in
to the Acumen Learning Portal. Click the Calendar
icon to select a date from the popup calendar.
You will be able to individually change users' expiry dates later if
you wish.
From the Select Letter listbox select the letter you want to be emailed to all new users you import. You will also need to check the Send Registration Details via Email checkbox below to implement this feature. This can be used to tell them their user name, password and client ID for when they log on.
Check the Send Automatic Emails if you want the users to receive the standard system emails for those scenarios where you have set them up.
Check the Allow User Editing if the users will be allowed to edit the details in their My Settings and My Profile pages.
Check the Allow Others to View Profile checkbox if you want other users of the system to be able to view the imported users Profile page.
Click Import.
All users in the file will be imported into the system.
