Import Agents

Overview

The import function allows a file of agents to be imported into Class.
The file MUST be in 'CSV' format (an Excel file can be saved in csv format).
Typical uses would be a file of agent enquiries downloaded from a webpage or a file of agents needing to be added to Class.

The file to be imported must conform to the format given in the "Create CSV Template".

Import File Format


 
Select "Create CSV Template" to see details of the layout and the rules that are applied.

Additional information
1. As Class requires an entry in address line 1, blank address line 1's will be automatically entered as "*IMPORTED*"
2. If an agent is matched with an existing record, the agent "status" (Prospective, Active, Suspended or Inactive) is overwritten to be the same value as defined by the Import (Prospective, Active, Suspended or Inactive).

A file not conforming to the above will not be recognised and therefore not imported.
There is no danger if a file is "imported" multiple times as matching records will be overwritten with the same information.

Import Process

Enter the filename, or use the browse button to search for the import file.
Select "Read File" to initiate the checking process. A count will appear in the top right hand corner.

On completion, the screen will indicate which records will be imported or rejected.



You may need to scroll the screen to see invalid fields, which will be highlighted with a red background.
Alternatively, the Excel button can be used to print the results for further scrutiny.
Once satisfied, select "Import". A Pre-import Summary will advise the status:
