Help Notes:
-
The supported file formats are *.xls, *.xlsx and *.csv files
-
The records will be sorted by the system and displayed accordingly as per:
-
Presenters
-
Assistants
-
Participants
-
A maximum of '1000' Registrants cab be uploaded to a conference at once.
-
If the host wants to add more than 1000 callers, he would need to upload the next 1000 callers (or less) separately.
-
If the size of the file to be uploaded includes more than 1000 entries then the entire file would be rejected and the host will see an error.
-
Here is the template in uploading the file. Copy this template and paste it on an Excel sheet.
role |
name |
|
custom1 |
custom2 |
*To Copy the template, highlight it (from Role to Custom2), right-click on your mouse and click on Copy. Paste it on an Excel sheet.
*You can also Type the words in Excel but please make sure you type it exactly as you see it on the template.
-
When entering the list of registrants, please note that all fields must be populated. If, for instance, you're not going to use the Custom 1 and Custom 2 fields, you can mark it with NA or you can put in anything just to keep these fields populated.
-
Just a friendly reminder, please use the email option carefully to avoid spamming.

I notice that the default location using this becomes US/Pacific. How upload registrants from other locations so they get an appropriate dial in number? And, what info can I share (in a separate email of my own) for people who may be in locations outside the US and who have been uploaded and recieved a US number and pin?
On the help notes, you need to specify that the designations are singular - Presenter, Assistant, and Participant.
Having PresenterS, AssistantS, and ParticipantS is misleading and causes an upload error that you have not identified.
I found the instructions somewhat lacking and had to resort to trial and error to get this working (support takes too long to respond)
