Importing Multiple Guest Entries
The Guest Provisioning user can manually create individual guest entries, as previously described, or import
multiple guest entries into the database from a CSV file. This is useful and more efficient if you want to enter
multiple guest entries at once. To import multiple guest entries, you need to:
1. Create a CSV file that contains the guest entries
2. Import the CSV file into the database
Creating Multiple Guest Entries in a CSV File
Create a CSV file that contains multiple guest entries. Each field in an entry needs to be separated by a comma
and each entry needs to end with a carriage return. The order of the fields is:
n Guest’s first name (required)
n Guest’s last name (required)
n Guest’s email address (optional)
n Guest’s phone number (optional)
n Guest’s user ID (optional)
n Guest’s password (optional)
n Sponsor’s first name (optional)
n Sponsor’s last name (optional)
n Sponsor’s email address (optional)
See Figure 196 for an example of how guest entries need to be formatted in a CSV file.
Figure 196 CVS File Format—Guest Entries Information
Note the following limitations when creating guest entries in a CVS file:
n None of the field values can have a comma
n There is no format checking on field. Only the local-userdb-guest CLI command will validate proper
format.
n Any extra columns, beyond the 9th column, are discarded.
n The WebUI only supports characters that the CLI supports.
n If a guest’s user ID is not provided, then it is automatically generated based on the numeric suffix in the
Import Guest List window. See Figure 197.
n We recommend a maximum of 250 entries per CSV file.
Importing the CSV File into the Database
To import a CSV file that contains multiple guest entries, the Guest Provisioning user must follow these steps:
1. Log in to the WebUI using the username and password assigned to the Guest Provisioning user.
2. Click on Import. The Import Guest List pop-up window displays. See Figure 197.
