This topic is part of the manual Manage your Contact Center in Agent Setup for version Current of Agent Setup.

Learn how to import multiple agents or contacts using Agent Setup's Bulk Import feature.

About bulk import

Important
Some features described here may not apply to your organization’s setup. If you need features that aren’t available to you, contact your administrator or Genesys representative.

As you set up and maintain your call center, you may sometimes need to input a large amount of data into the system. Using Agent Setup, you can import agent accounts and customer contact records in bulk, making the process smoother and more reliable.

To create, modify, or delete large numbers of agents/agent groups, upload a comma-separated value (CSV) file containing new and changed agent information. Create/modify values in the appropriate columns for the agent. When you import the CSV file into Agent Setup, the agents listed in the file are created, modified, or deleted, based on the action to be taken as indicated in the Action column.

Important
You can also use a .xls file for Import. But, the content structure of the .xls file should be in CSV format.

About CSV files

Important
  • The .csv file must be a text file in a comma-separated format.
  • The first line of the .csv file must contain user properties, and each line thereafter must represent a separate user.
When you import a .csv file, each parameter value is updated according to the following rules:
  • If a value is present, the new value replaces the previous value.
  • If an empty value is encountered, no change is made.
  • If the value includes /d , the attribute is deleted.
  • If no corresponding record is found, an error message is logged and the update continues to process.

How do I import a file?

To import a .csv/.xls file:

  1. Go to Data Tools > Bulk Import in the Agent Setup application menu.
  2. Click the icon in the Source File field and, using the file browser, select your CSV file.
  3. Optional. Select a template from the Template drop-down list, if you have already defined the template. See Templates section on creating templates.
  4. Check the Validate checkbox if you want to ensure that the CSV file is structured correctly.
  5. Click Import.
  6. Go to Users tab to verify if all the agents are imported.
Important
The CSV file is validated for the structure, data type, and availability of mandatory fields. If any errors are thrown during validation, open your CSV file and fix the errors and import again.

How do I stop an import?

AS Bulk Import GAPI27146.png

When you stop an import, a window asks you to confirm that you really want to stop the import. After you click Stop, agent records that were imported before you clicked Link= are retained and the import process does not proceed. By clicking Stop, you are not cancelling the entire import.

Import agent accounts

By importing a large number of agent accounts at one time, you won't need to add the accounts one at a time and you can apply a template to configure options, such as DN, place, person, and log in options, to all accounts.

CSV file parameters

SIP Phone Type String No   The type of SIP phone the agent is using as a softphone.

Switch: Boolean No   Y means that a DN and Agent Login are created for the agent on the specified switch.

CSV file example

First Name,Last Name,Employee Id,Username,Is Agent,Is Supervisor,Is Admin,External Id,Login ID,Extension,Skill:English,Switch: San Fran,Switch: London,AgentG:Good,AccessG: Super,Annex,Action,Folder,Wrap Up Time,Enabled
Sarah,Lee,223344,sarahl@acme.com,N,Y,Y,ADD,Acme/Branch/Team 1,60
John,Doyle,223465,johnd@acme.com,Y,N,N,2233,1,Y,N,ADD,Acme/Branch/Team 2,0
Robert,Cook,244456,bobc@acme.com,Y,Y,Y,johnd@acme.com,5,Y,Y,ADD,Acme/Branch/Team 3,60,Y

Important
Bulk imports do not include the Password field in the imported file. A default password is associated to each user account in the imported file. The format of the default password is: <username>-<Month>-<year>, where <Month> is the three-digit abbreviation for the month. For example, hjackson-Feb-2017. The Reset Password option is automatically enabled when adding or importing new users, so all users are prompted to reset their password the next time that they log in.

Import multiple contacts

By importing contact records with Bulk Import, you can avoid having agents add contacts manually.

Important
After importing customer contact records, you must log into Agent Workspace and use Contact Directory to view the imported records.
Tip
All properties should be included in the CSV file in the order presented below and all properties are mandatory with only one exception—when using the DELETE action, the phone number property of the CSV file can be left blank.

CSV file parameters

Property Type Mandatory? Action Description
Action String Yes ADD or A

UPDATE or CHANGE or C
DELETE or D
The default value is ADD and the values are case-insensitive.

ADD adds a new contact.
UPDATE updates an existing contact.
DELETE removes an existing contact.
First Name String Yes ADD, * needed for UPDATE if First Name change The first name of the contact.
Last Name String Yes ADD, * needed for UPDATE if Last Name change The last name of the contact.
Phone Number String Yes   The contact's phone number.

Important
  • Contacts are identified by combination of First Name and Last Name fields for DELETE and UPDATE actions.
  • UPDATE action replaces the first Phone Number attribute value of a contact.
  • ADD action checks if there is an existing contact with the same FirstName, LastName, and PhoneNumber attributes. If it exist, the new contact will not be created.
