Users Page

The Users Page is not visible on the Main Menu to employees or observer accounts.

The Users Page in the People Module functions as the module homepage, allowing the review of certifications for any user. The table has two views for display, a Supervisor View and a User View, which can be selected by the buttons beneath the Users page header. The Supervisor View shows the organization’s hierarchal structure, indenting the users’ names beneath each level of management. The User View will list users alphabetically by their last name.

Click the “Download Template” button to download the Certifications Template CSV to your device.

If you'd like to modify existing Certifications in bulk using Certification Import, in contrast or in addition to using Certification Import to create new Certifications, you can first export all Certifications from KAStrack to a CSV file and work off of that file. Read more here.

When ready, open the downloaded file (or create a new CSV file, if desired) in your favorite text editor / spreadsheet software (e.g. Excel, Sheets, etc.).

When preparing a CSV file for import, the following fields must be included in the first row of the file, each in their own cell, acting as header columns. Information for the Certification(s) will be listed on subsequent rows beneath each column header. All column headers must be included even if they don't apply to all Certifications being imported.

Some of these fields require meeting certain criteria when filling them out for KAStrack to import the Certification properly. The fields and supplemental information are outlined below:

Listing an ID in the import, paired with the matching Certification's name, allows you to update information about that Certification through the import process. The ID will be a whole integer.

The dropdown box is used to map column headers from the CSV to the fields necessary for Certification Import. If the column header name matches the system field's name, KAStrack will automatically set that field's dropdown box to the matching name. If you have used different column header names in your CSV, you can manually select from the dropdown which column headers from your file go with which system field.

Click the “Import certifications” to upload the file and import the changes into KAStrack. The screen will then display a success or fail message, and, if failed, alert to any changes that should be made to the imported file. If the import fails, no certifications will be imported/created or updated. If successful, KAStrack will inform how many new Certifications were created, and how many existing ones have been updated.
