Records import in detail
In this article, we explain in detail how to batch import your records to Passwd. You’ll also learn details about the file format and the values you can use to customize your records.
In case you don’t know how to start importing or exporting your records, see the instructions. In the following paragraphs, we explain record import only.
The template
Each record consists of 9 pieces of information. These pieces of information, or values, are saved in CSV format as text strings divided by commas (CSV is short for comma-separated values). Values can be also rendered in a table, which simplifies your work. To do so, use Excel or Google Sheets. In that case, each of the nine values will occupy one cell in a row. Now, let’s break the values down.
An important fact is that name of the record is always required. Without it, your import will fail. The rest of the fields are optional. Furthermore, the columns tags, Workspace group IDs with viewer/editor rights, and Workspace whitelist user IDs with viewer/editor rights can contain multiple values that can be separated by commas or commas followed by a space.
