This option will allow you to either insert or update Entities via Batch Upload and does not require you to enter attributes that would normally be required in the software. This is a legacy feature that should be used sparingly in favor of the new Entity Batch Upload.

In-Depth Instructions

Step 1 – On the Navigation Bar, click on "Site Administration". Then select "Batch Upload".

Step 2 – Under the "Generate Template" heading, select "Entity (required attributes not required)" from the drop-down menu and then click the "Generate Template" button.

Step 3 – A prompt will appear. Select Open to open the spreadsheet template.

  • Entity Sub Type – Different subtypes are available based on the Entity type you chose. Subtypes are determined by administrators using the Define Entity Sub-Types feature.

  • Individual – Is this Entity an individual or is it a business? Type 1 for individual or 0 for a business.
