Import Kiosk Users

NOTE: Even though we are not importing Kiosk passwords, some of the foreign characters in that column may prevent users from being imported properly. To prevent this from occurring, edit the CSV file prior to your initial User import, removing the contents in Column K (password) but leave the column header intact.

Headers Required

• USERNAME

• EMPID

• ADMIN_PRIV

• FIRST_NAME

• MIDDLE_NAME

• LAST_NAME

• SUFFIX_NAME

• DELETED_DATE

All other columns in this file are ignored. A user with a value in the DELETED_DATE column will be ignored while processing.

Navigate to System / Kiosk Load

From here you can select the file to upload and kiosk load option Kiosk User. Then click the import button.

An error file will be generated and any messages will be displayed on the screen once the file has been processed.

Verify that the total records loaded match non-deleted users in the Kiosk Users file. You can also extract the users to a CSV file from the Users grid.

Possible error conditions include:

• 

  • This indicates a possible issue with the contents in Column K (password) column. Even though we are not importing Kiosk passwords, some of the foreign characters in that column may be preventing users from being imported. To fix this, on the CSV file created as a result of the User import, remove the contents in Column K (password) and run the User import again to import the remaining users.

• “Unknown user with username ssmith@sampleville.org”: On the related KIOSK_USERS.CSV import file that is loaded into ESS prior to this step, it will not load users that have DELETED listed at the beginning of their username. The USER_TIME_PREF.CSV file will generate an error and not load the user preferences since the (deleted) user was never imported into ESS.

Sync Positions

Once Users have been imported, you will want to sync positions. Navigate to the USPS Data Sync view which can be found under the System menu.
