It matched most of Al Reem's columns on its own. Where it guessed wrong, you tell it. Once. Optional and absent is fine. It just skips it. One file, two countries. The rest inherit the UAE. Now check all seventy-nine rows — before writing a single one. Every problem, by row number, in plain language. Not "import failed". Seven specific things to fix. And here's exactly what will be created. All or nothing. If the last row fails, the first is rolled back too. Seventy-nine people. One file. They exist now. They can't log in yet.
Frequently asked questions
What happens if one row in my spreadsheet is wrong?
Every row is checked before a single record is written, and each problem is reported by row number in plain language — not "import failed". The write itself is all or nothing: if the last row fails, the first is rolled back too.
Do I have to map the columns myself?
It matches most columns on its own and you correct the ones it guessed wrong, once. Columns that are optional and absent are simply skipped.
Can one file contain employees from more than one country?
Yes. Set the country per row where it differs and the rest inherit the country you selected for the file.
Can imported employees log in straight away?
No. Importing creates employee records; logging in requires an invitation, which is a separate step.
