Staff List Import

This import can only be done by a TransVirtual staff member! Please contact us to help you achieve this.
This process uses a csv/excel file to create staff users in bulk.
If you require this, contact TransVirtual and we will send you two files; an 'Import' file and a 'Values' file.
The Import file is what needs to be filled out and sent back to us and the Values file will contain the data you can use to fill out the Import file - it will help with ensuring all entered data is formatted correctly.

The Import file you receive will look like the below:


You will be required to populate this file with the appropriate values for each new user you wish to create. An example could be the below:


Timezone = This is the timezone the user will operate out of. Common examples are Brisbane timezone users need to be set as E. Australia Standard Time (from the Values file) and Sydney timezone users need to be set as AUS Eastern Standard Time (from the Values file).
Employee Code = A unique code you can assign to each user if you wish but not required.
Customer Name = This column allows you the ability to link a user to a customer - in this case you would actually be creating a customer login for that customer.
Agent Name = This column allows you the ability to link a user to an agent - in this case you would actually be creating an agent login for that agent.
Permission Group = The level of access you wish the user to have to your TransVirtual account. Most of your users may be drivers or operations. If so, ensure they are in the relevant Security Group.
If this field is left blank in the Import file, the user will default to the group specified here:

This can be changed under Settings > General > Global Setup > General tab > Other (bottom-right of page).
If creating customer or agent logins, they also default to the specified group as above, if the the Permission Group field is left blank.
Force Password Reset = Typing YES means that the user will be forced to create their own custom password after they login (recommended).
Mobile Enabled = Typing YES means the user will have access to use the same login on the mobile app. Recommended for drivers or operational staff that require device usage (scanning/deliveries through Sign on Glass, etc).
The rest of the columns are self-explanatory but let us know if we can assist with these.

Each row represents a unique user you wish to create.
At a minimum you only need to enter a Username and Firstname for each new user in this file.
However, we recommend that the Headport, Security Group, Email Address and Password also be included.

The other file that you will be sent will be a Values file.
This Values file will contain options on what can be entered under each column in the Import file that will be used to create the new users.
It will look a bit like this:

The highlighted text in the above image represents column names in the Import file.

For example, in the above image there are two options under ForcePwdResetList:


These are the ONLY two available options to be entered into the below section in the import file:


You can see that YES has been typed which means that each of these new users will be forced to reset and change their password - useful if you want each user to define their own custom password (recommended).

The Values file contains data for the columns in the Import file. For the import to work correctly the column data for each row MUST match exactly to exiting options from the Values file you will receive - this does not apply to username, names, passwords etc where there will be no existing data and each value will need to be unique. Things like Headports, Time-zones, etc will need to be entered EXACTLY as per what is listed in your Values file.
Any columns that exist in the Values file MUST be used to populate the corresponding column in the Import file.
Once the import file has been filled out, send to TransVirtual. It will then be checked to ensure no errors and imported from there if okay or sent back to you to change/modify if errors are present.
