Download the CSV template, which will guide your formatting for uploading user data.

Formatting Your User Data

Open the downloaded CSV template in spreadsheet software (e.g., Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets).
Review required fields: first name, last name, email address, and user role (Admin, Manager, or Employee). Optional fields may include birthdays and work anniversaries.
Enter user data, with one user per row.
Important: Dates must use the YYYY-MM-DD format (e.g., "2024-05-02" for May 2nd, 2024).

Additional Considerations

Import Results and Processing: Bravvo will process your CSV, importing all valid entries. Rows with errors will be skipped.
Import Report: After uploading, you'll receive a summary report detailing total lines processed, successful imports, and any errors.
Data Accuracy: Always double-check your CSV for errors before uploading to ensure smooth account creation.

Using the Google Sheet Link (Optional)

If your interface includes a Google Sheet link, you might be able to upload user data this way. Check the Bravvo Support Portal for a dedicated article on Adding Users via Google Sheets for instructions.

Exporting Existing Users (Optional)

Some Bravvo versions allow you to export your existing users as a CSV file. This is useful for backups or moving data to another system. For details, see the support article on Exporting User Data.

In Conclusion

Uploading a CSV file is an efficient way to onboard multiple users to your Bravvo program at once. By following these steps carefully and ensuring accurate formatting, you can easily expand your team’s participation in your recognition program.
