📎Import a .CSV file

This method is ideal for one-off imports of data, if you have a list of people with no photos from any third-party application.

Format your CSV file

The maximum file size allowed is 5MB.
CSV extensions only. If you have a spreadsheet format file, save it as a CSV before uploading.
Semicolons and commas that are accepted separators. You can't mix them though.
Make sure the Custom Metadata Field Type in Aware matches the data format of your CSV. For example, if you have an EmployeeID Number Field, you won't be able to upload your file if one of your entries has a letter in their EmployeeID If this is the case, recreate the Metadata field with the correct type, then proceed with the import.

On the Web App 🖥️, go to the Profiles tab.
Select Create Profile > Import Profiles in the top right portion of the page.
Click on the blue Import button next to the CSV File option, to start the import process.
Search through your files for the CSV you would like to upload and select it. You can also drag and drop it.
Map your CSV file columns with your Custom Metadata fields. Skip those you don't want to map. Navigate to the previous step with the arrows, or hit Reset if you want to start over. Click on Finish Mapping once you're done.
Click Import Profiles to start the process. A pop-up dialogue will confirm the number of profiles that have been created, and inform you of any errors.
