What to Include in the Roles Section...

Roles are permission sets that administrators can assign to User accounts giving them access to different tools within your Field2Base environment.

Roles available for inclusion in your Bulk Import CSV are listed in the Roles section of the Admin Portal. They can be viewed by logging into the Admin Portal, then going to Admin > Roles. However, it should be noted that not everyone has access to view Roles within their company. If you find yourself unable to view them, please consult the graphic below for a comprehensive list of Roles available for use in the Bulk Import process.

     6. Once the CSV is filled out, save the file and go back to the Import Contacts screen

     7. Click the Choose File Button to open the File Browser and select your newly saved CSV file             then click Open

        8. Click the Submit Button

Congratulations! You've now deployed a bulk group of Users using the new Import system! If you have further questions, please contact Support at f2bsupport@field2base.com.
