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 drop down 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 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
