How to Manually Update User Profiles in Bulk
WARNING: Only update fields NOT being populated by your User Sync or your changes will be overwritten.
As a result this is normally only used to populate User Profiles with custom field data.
You can Export your Users to a .csv (it must remain a .csv for the import to work) and then update the custom fields you are using for those two with the values you need and reimport.
Here's How:
- Open Global Settings in InstructorSite.
- Select User Profile Settings.
- Expand Custom Field Labels and label any of the unused custom fields you want to use.
- Save Settings.
- Select the Import/Export Data option from the Import Data section.
- Select Export Data.
- From the dropdown for data type choose Users.
- Select Export This produces a .csv.
- Update the values you want in the correct Custom Field and save (KEEP it as a CSV file).
- Select Global Settings.
- Select Import/Export Data.
- Select Import Data.
- Choose Users from the data type drop down.
- Click the Select button and browse for your .csv.
- Validate and then import and then Finish.
