Image Added

Domain and Facility Administrators can

...

use the Contact

...

Template to generate a contact report, as well as add, update, and remove contacts

The

...

Contact Template is a

...

comma-separated values (CSV) file that is structured with columns

...

and rows. The column header indicates

...

the type of information and rows are populated with the corresponding information for each contact.

Note: Required information may be contingent on other fields. For example,

...

the Login Email is only required for internal contacts that

...

have Facility Access and are expected to log in to eICS.

By downloading the Contact Template, you automatically generate the Contact Report. This report contains the information for all contacts at all facilities you administer.

You can examine the report using a spreadsheet solution that accepts CSV files. The data in the report can be updated or removed, and new data can be added. In this way, you can effectively review and manage your contacts

After making changes to the data, you can upload it into eICS to update your facility contacts. During the upload, contact information is automatically validated. Validation detects errors and identifies them in the Validated File, which can then be downloaded for review and correction before uploading the file again. When the upload process is complete and the contacts have been created, eICS sends

...

a welcome message to

...

 contacts that are new

...

to Juvare solutions and have a login email. For details about the upload process, go to the article,

...

...

You can download the template from within eICS. To access it, point to Planning and click Contacts. On the upper right, click Upload Contacts. On the Upload Contacts window, click Download Template and the template will automatically download according to your browser settings.

.

Note: The system automatically removes the uploaded file 24 hours after processing has been completed.

Formatting and Conventions

To successfully upload contacts, it is helpful to understand the uses,

...

fields, formatting, and conventions

...

for contact data.

The Contact

...

Template can be used to:

...

  • Generate the Contact Report
  • Update existing contacts across one or more facilities

...

  • Add new contacts

...

  • Remove contacts

...

  • Automatically identify contacts'

...

  • phone numbers

...

Data added to the template must comply with the following formatting and conventions:

  • The

...

  • uploaded file must contain all

...

  • columns, as in the template.
  • The first row in the file must be populated with headers and each column header must contain the name of that data element as specified in the template.

...

  • The contact’s First Name and Last Name together cannot duplicate any other contact in the same facility.
  • The phone number must be valid and complete

...

  • and an extension of 1-6 characters is

...

  • allowed. For example,

...

  • +1-404-555-

...

  • 1234 X123456.
  • The email address must be formatted correctly.
  • Any blank rows must be removed from the file before uploading.
  • The file cannot be larger than 50 MB.

If the elements in the data file do not meet these requirements, validation errors will occur. You can still upload a file with validation errors, however only the valid records will be processed and added to your facility.
