Data fields for import
User data
The following data fields can be imported to create explorer and navigator user profiles. Ensure that all required fields are included in your import files.
Data field | Description | Requirement |
---|---|---|
Username | The name the user will enter to sign in. Usernames must be at least 4 characters long and unique among all users in the system. Usernames can be alpha-numeric and are not case-sensitive. Headed2 recommends that you use an email address or another guaranteed unique value if available. Alternatively, you can add a prefix to each name such as your school name followed by an underscore, so the value is more likely to be globally unique. | This field is required. |
Password | The password with which a user will sign in. Passwords must be 6 characters, can be alpha-numeric, and are case-sensitive. If you do not include a password for users not logging in with single-sign-on (SSO), you must choose the option to generate a password after uploading your file, and then distribute it to your users. | This field is recommended for users not logging in with SSO. |
Email address | The user's email address. If you are not using SSO and you do not import an email address, the user will not be able to verify their account ownership and reset a lost password. | This field is recommended. |
First name | The user's first name. | This field is recommended. |
Last name | The user's last name. | This field is recommended. |
School | The primary school the user attends. This should be either:
