How would you like to import your people?

 

Remember before you start that if you want Functionly to construct your chart for you then each person's manager field should be completed excluding the person at the top of your chart e.g. your CEO. 🙂

If you want to import people only so that you can build your own org chart, then the manager column should be blank or not included.

 

Upload a file directly

  1. If you're creating a new scenario select "CSV file" from the list of options on the modal

    spreadsheet import - Functionly

    Or

    If you already have a scenario open then click "Import people" above any position or in the left nav 

    import people - Functionly

  2. Select CSV from the list of import options
  3. Click upload file and select your .csv, .tsv, or .txt file
  4. Confirm which row contains column headers
  5. Check that your data has mapped to the correct fields and adjust any that are incorrect using the dropdown for each column and click "Next" when done

    If there are properties in your import that don't match our existing fields then can be created and imported during the import process. Click the dropdown to the right of your property to map and select "+ include as custom field".



  6. Review your data to ensure that it's showing in the correct columns and click "Next". If any fields appear in red then there's an error detected that will need debugging.
