Import Master data

General information

If a large number of employees is to be created, it would be relatively time-consuming to do this via the menu item Persons in the webdesk. Therefore there is the possibility to enter the master data and all other relevant information concerning the persons to be created comfortably in a Microsoft Excel folder, from where they are finally read out and imported.The folder provided for this purpose is described below - each of its pages under the same heading.

The columns highlighted in red on the screenshots are mandatory fields - the yellow fields can be filled optionally.

This page deals with the personal data of the employees and the assignment to loose groups.

The following is an explanation of those columns that require such an explanation:

• Employee ID 
  This refers to the personnel number assigned to the employee in the company.
• User-ID 
  This is the user name under which the employee is to be created in the Webdesk. The user name can be any combination (in this case, the first 3 letters of the first and last names would be used). 
• OE - short for: organizational unit
  This includes the various departments of the company, such as management (GF), personnel (PERS),...). This column contains the short names of the relevant OU.
• User / Management / Admin 
  In the webdesk these are the names of the 3 different loose groups. Depending on which of these groups the user is assigned to (Y = Yes, add / N = No, do not add), he or she receives different authorizations in the Webdesk.

Organizational units

This page is used to define the hierarchical groups / departments and their relationships to each other.
