How to bulk upload contacts into the portal

If you are creating or currently have an excel file with the contact information you would like to upload - make sure to "File" > "Save As" > ".CSV format"

If you have this information in quickbooks and would like to export - use this link for instructions: How to Export from Quickbooks.

IMPORTANT NOTES/REQUIREMENTS:
  1. Save file in .CSV format
  2. Remove any/all 1's before phone numbers.
  3. Names, numbers, addresses, emails, etc. must be in separate columns.
  4. The document can only have one (1) sheet.
  5. Remove any/all titles above the columns.

Once the file is ready for upload, follow the steps below: 

1) Go to the Reliable PBX Portal > "Configuration" > "Phonebook" > "CSV Load"

2) Upload .CSV file (ensuring all of the above requirements have been met)

  1. Change "Dilimeter" to " , "
  2. Change "First row" to  "data"
  3. Change "Encoding" to  "default"
4) Select "check" 

5) After it loads, you will see a list of the contacts you would like to add (see attached image for reference). If it does not look as shown in the image, please go back and ensure all requirements were met before the document was uploaded. Try again once any necessary changes have been made, or contact support for further assistance. 
   
6) If everything looks good, simply change the following:  
  1. For "Name" --> change from "skip loading" to "column #0 or Column #1, etc." (depending on how data imported). Refer to image attached.
