Configuring the import

Setting preferences

There are some preferences that should be set before starting the first import to ensure that everything works correctly. Under Admin → Configuration → CSV import, all import templates can be configured.

  • Group type for department groups: This group type will be set for department (i.e. subject) groups.

  • Prefix for long names of department groups: This prefix will be added to the long name of all department group names.

  • Languages for date parsing: Here you can set languages you want to use for parsing dates from the CSV file. Takes comma-separated data without spaces (e. g. de,en_US).

In addition, you should set the country code for phone number parsing under the Internationalisation tab correctly.
