External IDs
An external ID is a unique identifier that you assign to each department. This ID can consist of a combination of numbers and letters that are selected in a way that they are unique to each employee.
An external ID can be used to refer to other departments.
For example, if you want to upload a department, "Sales" with the subdivisions, "Private Sales" and "Public Sales", where "Public Sales" has a subdivision, "HR", you can do this as follows:
externalId | companyName | parentExternalId |
1 | Sales | |
2 | Private sales | 1 |
3 | Public sales | 1 |
4 | HR | 3 |
Adding external IDs is also necessary to be able to add employees to the department through CSV upload.
Note! If you import a business unit with an external ID that already exists, we will update that business unit rather than creating a new one with the same ID.
Errors
The system is capable of detecting most formatting errors, but it is still highly recommended that you review the imported data carefully.
To ensure that all departments and associated information are correctly entered, it is recommended to double-check the file before uploading it. Check if all columns are correctly filled with the relevant information and make sure all required fields are filled in. This will help minimize any errors and ensure a smooth upload of the departments.
If errors occur during the upload process, the system will usually give an error message indicating the specific reason for the error. You can use this information to correct the errors and reload the file.
