Contents

The Import Employees From CSV dialog box first prompts you to select your .CSV file.

Field	Description
BROWSE	Click BROWSE, navigate to and select the .CSV file, and click Open.
Next	Click Next to go to the next step in preparing for the import process.

After you select the .CSV file and click Next, the Import Employees From CSV dialog box displays a different set of controls so you can map the fields in the .CSV file to Deltek Resource Planning fields and start the import process.

Field	Description
Do not import duplicate records	If you do not want the import process to import any information for an employee that already exists in Deltek Resource Planning, select this option.
Update duplicate records	If you want the import process to update fields in Deltek Resource Planning for an employee that already exists, select this option. If a field in the existing employee record is blank or contains information that is different from information in the mapped field in the .CSV file, the field in the existing record is updated with the information from the .CSV file.
SOURCE FILE FIELD	This column contains the field names from your .CSV file. Deltek Resource Planning assumes that the first row of the .CSV file is a header row and that the values in that row are the field names.
DELTEK FIELD	Use the fields in this column to select the Deltek Resource Planning employee field that corresponds to each of the .CSV file fields that you want to import. If the .CSV file contains fields that you do not want to import, select Do not import for those fields. The first time you display this dialog box, it attempts to provide default field mappings based on the field names in your .CSV file and the field names in Deltek Resource Planning. Review those default mappings and change any that are incorrect. Thereafter, your previous field mappings display by default.
SAMPLE VALUE	This column displays the value for each field from the first data row in your .CSV file.
Employees to be imported	This field displays the number of employee records that your .CSV file contains.
Import	To start the import process, click this button. The import process does the following: It adds records for employees that do not exist in Deltek Resource Planning. If you selected Update duplicate records, it updates mapped fields in Deltek Resource Planning based on the information in the .CSV file for any employees that already exist in Deltek Resource Planning.
Cancel	To close the dialog box without running the import process, click this button. If you mapped fields, you will have to do the mapping again if you decide to run the import at a later time.
