FAQ's
What is the most efficient way for me to prepare my data to import into intelliHR?
This will depend on the outcome you wish to achieve by using the Data Import / Export.
It is important to understand that using the Data Import / Export to create people or jobs will add data to your intelliHR platform; however, using the Data Import / Export to update people and job data will overwrite existing data with the data you bulk import.
Creating New Records using the Data Import / Export
- If you wish to Create People or Create Jobs the most efficient way to do this is by selecting Start an Import, and then Upload in the top-right of this page.
- You will choose one of the Create functions and be presented with the following image:
- Click on the Help Guide to access the in-app help guides.
- Within this area, there is a Download Example that should be used for you to enter the data you will be using to create the people or jobs on the platform.
- Read the Supported Column section in this area to ensure you have provided data for any fields that are required. Additional information about the format of each field is also provided in this area.
Updating Existing Records using the Data Import / Export
- If you wish to update existing data such as people, jobs, remuneration or location data in the intelliHR system, the most efficient first step is to navigate to the Data Import / Export and select Export.
- You will choose the Export Type that is relevant to the data you want to update (e.g. Job Remuneration Data if you are updating employee remuneration records)
- The export provided will, by default, contain all of the fields that need to be present for you to import this data back into the platform to overwrite your current data with the updates you wish to make.
By first exporting your current data when conducting bulk updates you will save time by not having to re-add the existing data or remove blank columns.
Can I export data from my payroll system and import this directly into intelliHR?
No, intelliHR will require the data presented, such as date fields, to be in a certain format. Therefore, download examples are provided within the Data Import / Export that can be completed with the data exported from your payroll system.
Can I bulk import into Custom Fields?
Yes, you can. Any custom fields in the intelliHR platform will appear in both the download examples when creating/adding new people. All exports from the Data Import / Export will also include columns for custom fields that are specific to your business and version of intelliHR. However, columns for these custom fields should automatically appear on the download example and export in the Data Import / Export area. You are not able to add a column for custom fields to your import without first creating it on your intelliHR platform.
