Individual Employee ID update via 'Edit User'

Bulk Employee ID update via CSV upload

1. Head to Admin > User attributes > Grovo attributes and click to edit the “Employee ID” attribute.



2. Click to 'Bulk update via CSV.' 

• As with User CSV upload flow, there’s pre-upload validation step to check for:
  • Required column headers
  • New and old employees IDs are not blank 
  • New and old employees IDs are unique within CSV

3. You will receive a success or error email when the upload is complete.

• If errors are encountered, any updates are rolled back. You should go ahead and correct noted errors, then upload the updated CSV.
