General Information on Importing
For general information on importing data, refer to the following dedicated article that details how to import a file, supported formats, and other related information.
Import Layout
When creating your import file, you must:
- Create Column Headers.
- Match the order of the columns with the table provided below.
- Match the number of columns with the table provided below.
If columns are added or removed, the import process file will stop and an error message will be shown, resulting in no records processed and an error logged in the import history.
When is a Record Added vs Updated?
If a field is identified as a key field with the label [key] in the 'Required' column in the table below, Core HR will update the existing record with the matching [key] field data instead of creating a new record (i.e. when importing a file containing employee data and Core HR recognizes an employee's SSN as belonging to an existing employee record, Core HR will update the existing employee record with the data from the import file instead of creating a new employee record).
If no field has the [key] label in the 'Required' column, the import layout will always create a new record and not update any existing records.
| Column Header | Data Type | Max Field Length | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Priority | Text | <=1000 | Yes [key] | If a Priority is not found within the system, a new record will be added. |
| Description | Text | <=1000 | ||
| Sort Order | Numeric | |||
| Start Date | Date | |||
| End Date | Date | |||
| Active | Yes/No | <=20 | Must be one of the following: "Yes" or "No". If left blank, "Yes" will be the default. | |
| Hide from Employee | Yes/No | <=20 | Must be one of the following: "Yes" or "No". If left blank, "Yes" will be the default. |
