How to Add Several Team Members at Once with Bulk User Importing
Owners and Admins can use the Data Upload tool to bulk-import users into the Directory. Navigate to Company Settings > Data Import or start from the Directory:
Click Directory from the left navigation.
Click the Import users via CSV button in the top-right corner of the page.
Verify you're ready to proceed, then click Proceed.
Download our template.
Follow the instructions on the Data Import page to complete the template.
Upload your file in Company Settings > Data Import.
Adding licenses
Before uploading your file, you can add the number of licenses you'll need through the billing portal. We'll automatically add licenses to your account based on the number of Managee, Manager, Admin, and Coach roles uploaded.
Creating teams
One key benefit of the bulk upload process is that it assigns your new users to their teams in the same step. If you just created your company on Ninety or have more teams to add, be sure to create those teams before uploading your file.
