Chapter 5 - Managing Users, Contacts, And Recipients; Importing Users; User Page Csv Import Formats - Multitech FaxFinder FF440 Administrator's Manual

The Basic Installation chapter provided steps for adding users, recipients, and
chapter details importing and managing multiple users, recipients, and both global and personal contacts. It
includes using global and personal contact groups.

Importing Users

You can import multiple user records from a CSV file, if the file is formatted correctly. To enter users
individually, refer to Adding Users

User Page CSV Import Formats

On the Users page, you can use a CSV file to import just users, just contacts, or a combined file with both user
and contact records. The first comma-delimited value of each row indicates if the line is a user record or
contact record, so both user and contact types can be in the same CSV file.
●
Your file must conform to the order and format for each record type
●
If any of your data has apostrophes, commas, or quote marks, enclose the data in double quotes.
●
Header rows are optional. A header row is any row that starts with "Type". If you export data from a
FaxFinder, the CSV file will include header information in the first row.
Note: Only the Administrator can import through the User page. Other users can import contacts through
the Contacts page.
Example User Only Records
The following example shows an optional header row. Data in your CSV file must be in the same order.
