Add members from a CSV

The group member list can also be populated from a CSV file.

Step 1: Create the CSV

Exporting the list from another group

The CSV file generated by [exporting the list of members of another group] will have only two columns, viz. the name of the group and the member id.

When importing such a file, don’t forget to change the group name in the first column and make necessary edits to the list of member ids.

Exporting a list of shared or personal contacts

The CSV file generated from the contacts application is more elaborate and has a lot of columns. When importing such a file, only the Mail column will be used when updating the group membership.

Manually creating a file using a spread sheet or a text editor

A manually created CSV file should have only two columns, the group name in the first and the second column will have the member id.

Step 2: Add members using CSV

Select the Import Members to Group icon on the top right corner.
Choose the CSV file type from the following:
1. Baya AddressBook CSV : A CSV file exported from Baya Contacts application.
2. Group Members CSV : A CSV file exported from Group Membership Management interface or created manually.
Select the CSV file from your desktop.
Click Continue.
In the first pass, the CSV contents are validated and the validation results displayed.
Click Import to proceed.
The new members are created and the status is displayed.
Click Done to exit the pop-up.
