Roster—Add Participant Names to Roster

Roster

There are three ways to enter names into the Roster: import names from an Excel spreadsheet, type names in manually and browse in names from another roster.

To import names from an Excel spreadsheet:
  1. Prepare a spreadsheet with the following column headers: LastName, FirstName and Email. Save the file to a location on your computer that allows easy access when importing the names into the roster. (Note: Whenever possible, ask the client [internal or external] to provide the information in a spreadsheet.) Your spreadsheet will look like this:
Roster

NOTE: The sheet name in this file (located in the lower left corner of the worksheet) must be Sheet1. To change the spreadsheet name, right-click and choose Rename. Type Sheet1 into the box.

IMPORTANT: Also make sure that cells A1, B1, and C1 are the column headers LastName, FirstName and Email respectively. Any other text in these cells will prevent the roster from importing correctly. Be sure to use the words as shown with no space and no dash.

  2. Click the link: Click here to import names from a file.
