Here you will learn how to import users from an Excel file. We recommend using the template attached below and explained here.


1. Make sure your player's file is good to go!



The Excel file should contain the following 8 columns:
  • Alias (30 characters)
  • Login (email)
  • First Name
  • Last Name
  • Password (generic password)
  • Change password (we recommend filling with "Yes" for a more secure registration process)
  • Team (only if playing by teams)
  • Language App


Other columns can also be added to load more information into the system, 


All 4 columns are mandatory:


  • Alias (30 characters max)
  • Login (email)
  • First Name
  • Last Name


IMPORTANT: After you fill the file with the player's information, delete row number 2 used as a reference for the columns. You will find the file attached to this article.


2. Select your game


After you have created your game, select it by clicking it in the games list row. 



3. Click the Users tab followed by the Import button to import your file


4. Choose a file from your computer and click Load file 



5.  Select the worksheet


Select the Excel worksheet in the drop-down that contains your users. Make sure you name it without spaces. The system will recognize the required fields from the Excel columns if the names are the same.






Click the Send button to upload users into your game.


IMPORTANT: Checking the box "Update existing records" will replace all the information you have already uploaded to the platform. If you need to update some specific fields regarding the users, you can update the Excel file and upload it again by choosing from the drop-down menus above the information you would like to update. Then check the box "Update existing records" and click on Import.





6. Users Imported!




Users were successfully imported into the game. New users can now log into the game with their e-mail addresses and password. Existing users will have their accounts updated with the new information; if all the details remain the same, then they will just be added to the game. 


In the screenshot below we can see that players added to the game already had Atrivity accounts.

  • Created 0 : 0 new users were created
  • Updated 0 : 0 users experienced changes to their accounts
  • Added to the game 3 : 3 users with Atrivity accounts now have access to the game
  • Added to the team 0 Users: 0 users added to any Team in the game
  • Deleted 0 Users: 0 users were deleted from the game
