Import Employee Data

Use this screen to import employee information from an ASCII file.

You can review and edit employee data created through the preprocessor in the Manage Employee Information and Manage Employee Salary Information screens. Only one user at a time can run this application.

Note:

This is a separately licensed product for the current release of Deltek Costpoint.

There are two ways to work with input files in Costpoint:

  • You can access the input file from the network by using Alternate File Locations.
  • You can upload the input file to the Costpoint database; in which case, no further access to network folders is necessary.
Note:

If you decide to use the first option, click in the File Location field to select an alternate file location. If you choose the second option, leave the File Location field blank and use the File Upload Manager to upload the input file to the Costpoint database.

The Edit Report displays the previous information for a field when a Salary Info & History record is changed. When you add a new Salary Info & History record for either current or new employees, no information displays for the previous values because you are adding, not changing, a record.

Input File Excel Template

Go to the Developer Resources page of the Costpoint Information Center to download the Excel template file specifically designed for this preprocessor. Templates for other Costpoint preprocessors are also available at the same location.
