When you need to add anywhere from a handful to hundreds of staff, export a CSV file to use as a template, add your people to it, and import it back. This is faster than creating profiles one at a time and it captures each Staff Role's attributes correctly.
Before you begin, make sure the following are complete:
You are assigned the Staff Safe Administrator role. CSV import is available only from the Settings menu, which the User role does not have. Roles are assigned in the Kio Cloud Users app by a User Management Administrator, or through your organization's SSO identity provider.
Every Staff Role you are importing against already exists. See Create a Staff Role.
At least one staff member already exists for each Staff Role you are adding. The export file is built from existing staff, and different roles carry different attributes. Without one person per role, the file you export will be missing columns. For example, to import Nurses, Security, and Providers, one of each must exist first.
Steps
From your Kontakt.io Launchpad, select Staff Safe.
From the Settings menu, select Staff.
From the Staff Type column, select the filter icon and enter the name of the Staff Role you are adding.
With the staff for that role displayed, select Export CSV.
-
Open the exported file and add one row for each person, filling in the columns.
Do not delete or change the first row of column names. If you do not have a value yet, leave it empty and update the staff profile after the import.
Save the file, then select Import CSV.
From the Staff page, confirm the new staff appear.
The staff are added. Assign each person a badge to complete their setup — see Assign badge to staff from Staff Safe.
