How do I upload a bulk file?

The administration application facilitates the creation of users in bulk using the upload file functionality. The creation of bulk users is done using an asynchronous stand-alone application that periodically picks up the bulk load files that have been uploaded to the file server and processes each file resulting in the creation of users in the GBC (Global Business Center) system.

Any administrator can upload Microsoft Excel files in to the file server. The Bulk load stand-alone application accepts only Excel sheets.

When you log on to the administration application with the admin rights you can find the Upload file link in the left navigation. Upload bulk load file screen allows you to upload bulk load files into the file server which will be processed later.

Follow the steps detailed below to upload a bulk load file:

1. Log on to the administration application.
2. Click the Upload file link on the left pane of the page. The Upload bulk load file screen appears.
3. Type the path for the file name. Alternatively, click browse to browse the local file system to find and select the file.
4. Click open after selecting the file.
5. Click cancel to cancel the file selection.
6. Click submit to upload the selected file. Select only xls files to upload. Validation error occurs if no file or wrong file format is selected. If the validations are successful then the file is uploaded on the server and a status screen is shown with the message that the file has been uploaded successfully.
7. Click cancel if you want to cancel the action you are performing on this screen and go back to the User screen.
