Configure data



Basic settings

Overwrite user data. Choose whether to overwrite data when users on the CSV and users on the portal overlaps. If you choose to keep existing information, you can choose to Keep Existing Info. If you select Overwrite with CSV, user information saved on CSV will overwrite user info on the portal.

Card ID type. Please check whether the card ID to be imported from CSV is decimal or hexadecimal. You must select the appropriate card ID type so that it is displayed correctly and you can use it as an mobile access card.

Start date & end date. Set the valid period of the cards you are going to issue. Based on the selected start and expiration dates, multiple cards will be set and issued to users.

If the CSV file is including the expiration date, specify the data via data mapping menu below. When issued, cards will be issued based on the CSV data. When importing a CSV, you must map the card ID to create users and to issue cards.

Specify importing range.
Header row. Specify the header location on the CSV to import data below the header. Select the number of rows on which the header is located. It is in average located on the first row.

Data mapping.
Data map to import which data on the CSV to the portal. For each field, specify the data corresponding to the column in the CSV. For each field on the portal, map with data on the CSV which is corresponding to each column. Select none if you do not wish to import the data to the field.

If the top header row is set incorrectly, each field may display inaccurate information. Check if the header row is set correctly. Map card ID to issue multiple cards. If not, card can only be issued one at a time. The best practice to issue cards in simple steps is by adding card ID on the CSV and data mapping to import all required info to issue multiple cards.

Preview data.
Preview. Check and review your configuration to see if your settings display expected information with real data. If not, configure the top header row, try data mapping, and see preview to check your settings.
