Manual user data upload
Steps to manually upload user data
To perform a manual .CSV upload in the application, you will need a CSV file containing user data (including employees, contractors etc). All HR / payroll / employee source of truth tools should allow you do to download this data. Please ensure that your data is formatted as per the format attached at the bottom of this page.

Metadata is a JSON object and has a corresponding Metadata Version. Metadata Versions and their respective allowed fields which are currently supported -
"v1"
"location" - JSON with the following fields:
"address" - String
"manager id" - String
"manager name" - String
"employee" - String
"role id" - String
"app" - String (Internal use)
"correlation id" - String (Internal use)
"tenant" - String (Internal use)
"timestamp" - String (Internal use)
Even though the "Internal use" fields are supported, they are meant for internal use and are only supported for the purpose of being able to download from an Employee integration (like Merge or Google) and then upload after edits to the Employee without losing relevant information about the original extraction from the integration.
Once you have processed your data and converted it into the suitable format, proceed to upload the .CSV file in the Configure > Users page. Click on "Bulk Upload".
You will be able to see a side screen as shown below. Under the Employees Upload section, upload your formatted .CSV file.
You will be intimated regarding the status of the upload through the snackbar on the top-right of the screen while the BalkanID environment ingests your data and updates your tenant.
