Importing Participant Groups

Importing participants involves the following two tasks:

Creating the .CSV Format file for Importing Participant Groups

The CSV format file for importing the participant groups must have only one field defined #GroupName. All group names can then be specified under the #GroupName tag.

Importing the Participant Groups Information using CSV files

After creating a CSV format file containing your participant group information, you must import this file to Enterprise Archive.

To import participant groups information:

  1. Select the Administration tab.

  2. Click Import under the Participants Groups category .

    Note

    • Ensure that any group names that are in the .CSV file for importing groups is not prefixed with the hash symbol (#). Group names prefixed with the hash symbol (#) in the .CSV file (for importing participant group names) are not imported.

    • To avoid inconsistent search behavior and potential duplicate entries, avoid using preceding or trailing spaces when adding participant groups or values.

  3. Click Select File , to import the participant groups information through a CSV format file.

  4. Browse and then select the correct CSV file for importing the participant groups information and then click Open in the File Upload window.
