Update users with a spreadsheet

Update spreadsheets save time and allow you to update multiple items at once.

  • Update spreadsheets typically display two columns for each attribute, updates should be entered in the white columns.
  • Always download a new spreadsheet before you begin adding information because each sheet is populated with data from the database.

Formatting rules

  • All information should be entered as text or dates.
  • You can add sheets if needed, UtilityManagement only processes the sheet named DataEntry.
  • Do not remove columns.
