Import Vendors from Excel/CSV Files

You can import details of vendors/business associates that you have in MS Excel or Comma Separated Value (CSV) file formats directly into Talenture RS as Vendors.

Use this feature for quickly bringing in your vendor/partner related data so that the team does not need to enter these manually in Talenture RS to get started.

You may for example have such data in XLS/CSV formats in the following scenarios:

• Details of your vendors/business collaborators maintained in MS Excel format.
• Vendor data exported to XLS/CSV format from another software product.

Steps for Importing Data
Following are the broad steps in importing vendor data from XLS/CSV files:

• Select the Vendor object type into which to import the data.
• Select the source XLS/CSV file from which to import data.
• Specifying the columns in your XLS/CSV file to be mapped to corresponding columns in Talenture RS. You can also import data into User-Defined fields created in Talenture RS.

Special Values in Import
You can specify the following additional mapping when importing candidates/candidate leads:

• Type: You select the Vendor type to set as ‘Lead’ or ‘Current’.
• Status: You can set this as ‘Active’ or ‘Disabled’.

Once the import process is completed a notification will be displayed in the Notification Band and also posted in the Notifications data folder containing the summary of the import process. You can check the System Log in case of any errors/failures during the process.
