Import users
Updated: 2008-11-14
Import users into the Planning Server system by using a comma-separated value (CSV) file format. For each user that you are importing, the file must contain the following information:
A user ID in the Label column in the pattern of domain\user name. Do not use localhost as the domain name. Always use the explicit computer or domain name.
A display name in the Name column.
The following table provides an example of how to format the columns in the CSV file and it includes the optional Email property. The e-mail address is used for assignment notifications.
| Label | Name | |
|---|---|---|
Contoso\ellenadams |
Ellen Adams |
ellenadams@contoso.com |
Contoso\marcboyer |
Marc Boyer |
marcboyer@contoso.com |
