This page presents the flow that allows organizers to import multiple users (in bulk) to the event. This is useful in cases where the organizers have used an external registration and ticketing solution and wish to import the event delegates to our platform in order to gain access. All users imported through the bulk import are carrying the “delegate” role but can then be assigned to sessions as chairs and speakers.
For an empty event, in terms that no delegates have been yet added to the event, the organizer will be prompted to "Import People" when entering the People Tab of the BackOffice.
Note: Add People option is described in a separate page.
If there are already people added to the event, the organizer can still use the Bulk Import by entering the "People" tab and selecting the option "Import People".
Upon clicking on the "Import People" button a modal will appear that will provide information and context on the process to be followed. This step aims to facilitate the organizers, by providing them with an Excel template they can download in order to make sure that the structure of the file to be imported is the right one as well as information on how the process will work.
<aside> 🔥 Important: If new people are added with an existing Morressier account then the bulk import will not affect them. The bulk import will UPDATE the information for existing users who have not YET activated their accounts.

The step that follows prompts users to upload their files. Upon uploading a file. There are multiple forms of input allowed, though the template we provide is in xls. mode.
While the file is being uploaded the user will be able to monitor the status of the uploading process. In case a user uploads an Excel file with multiple sheets, they can select the one that will be used for validation and importing.
