 In this video, we will show you how to import contacts into Superoffice. You can import your contacts from either Excel, Gmail, Outlook or Mac address book. If you already have a set of contacts, for example from your personal contact list or if you buy a list from an external source, you will want to import them into your Superoffice solution. Then the contacts are available for all and can be updated by all. It is vital to do the import correctly so that you have the right information entered at the right place. Begin by logging in to Superoffice. Click on the main menu icon in the top right corner of the screen and choose settings and maintenance from the drop down menu. Once inside the administrator's client, click on the import button in the navigation menu on the left hand side of the screen. Select your import source. This can be contacts or products. Choose your import file. This can be an Excel file, Outlook or Gmail. If you use a Mac, you will also have a Mac address book here as an option. Our example import file is an Excel file, but the steps will be the same. Click on the icon to begin your import. In the window that will appear, click on the upload file button, find the file that you need, click open and then click save. The next step is to match the data in your source file with the corresponding fields in Superoffice. For each column, you need to select and choose a field in Superoffice where you want that data to appear. Note that it is good practice to also include category and business since these are mandatory fields in the system. Make sure you use an existing or desired value for these lists. Click on the node selection field in the top bar and choose a relevant title from the drop down list to place the data into a field in Superoffice. If you choose not to connect any of the fields, this data will not be imported into Superoffice. Note that you cannot import people to Superoffice without them belonging to a company. If you notice any data duplicates, you can get rid of them by configuring the import settings. To do this, simply click on the configure import settings button. You can define how you want to identify duplicates and what actions you want here. Importing an import match is only relevant if you have data in your database before you import. Once each column is matched and everything looks correct, click next. In the preview import screen, you can double check the data that you are about to import. It is vital to do the import correctly so that you have the right information entered into the right place. If you are unsure about anything, click on previews and make your adjustments. Symbols on the left hand side indicate the companies and contacts that will be added to your Superoffice database. Now you can click on import and the wizard will import all your contacts in the manner you defined. After the import is finished, your data will be automatically updated in Superoffice. The contacts you have just imported are also available as a selection. You can go directly to the selection by clicking on the link. With the help of the task tab in the selection, you can update and change information that has been imported as you want. We have now shown you how to import data to Superoffice.
