When you do a single-user-add, all of this is done for that user in real-time. When you do a bulk-add, then all of the above happens for each user being imported, one at a time, when the DAP hourly cron job runs at the top of every hour. That’s the main difference.<\/p>\n
Simple Import<\/h3>\nPrerequisites For Simple Import<\/h4>\n
1) You must have already created the DAP Product<\/strong> into which the users will be imported<\/p>\n 2) The user list has to be in a CSV (comma separated) format (one user per line)<\/p>\n For doing a simple import of user data containing just email, first and\/or last name, the format of data (per user, per line) should be like this:<\/p>\n Email,FirstName,LastName<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Email and FirstName are mandatory. But LastName is optional. So your user data row could be just…<\/p>\n Email,FirstName<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Example:<\/p>\n Joe@example.com,Joe,Customer DAP will also allow bulk import of users with extended profile information. This includes their existing password and other profile data as detailed in this video<\/a> (Bulk Add Users<\/a>)<\/p>\n But please make sure you are using at least DAP v4.2.1 and LiveLinks v1.7<\/strong>, because what’s explained below is only available only since then.<\/p>\n 1) You must have already created the Product<\/strong> into which the users will be imported<\/p>\n 2) The user list has to be in a CSV (comma separated) format (one user per line), with the exact format being:<\/p>\n Email,Firstname,Lastname,Password,ProductName, Address,City,State,Zip,Country,Phone,Company, Flag (to indicate Paid or Free user), Access Start Date, Access End Date,UserName<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Example:<\/p>\n joe@somesite.com,Joe,Member,test123,Example One-time Product,99 hill ave,Cityname,NY,10001,USA,,Plug and Play Inc,y,2011-03-16, 2012-03-15,JoeMember<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n The only required fields are Email<\/strong>, FirstName<\/strong> and ProductName<\/strong>. If you do not want to supply a value for any of the optional fields, but still wish to import certain others, then just leave those fields empty in the data row (but the commas should remain<\/strong>) as shown below.<\/p>\n <\/strong>Email,Firstname,,,ProductName,,,,,,,,Flag (to indicate Paid or Free user), Access Start Date, Access End Date,UserName<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Create a file with the name\u00a0\/dap\/bulk\/importusers.csv<\/strong> file so it has the users you want to import in the format specified above.<\/p>\n Run this script on your browser to complete the import, by visiting: <\/strong><\/p>\n http:\/\/YourSite.com\/dap\/dap-bulkImport.php<\/strong><\/p>\n Note<\/strong>:<\/p>\n * Replace “YourSite.com” with your actual domain name<\/p>\n * Limit the number of users you are importing with this method to not more than 500 users (rows) at a time. Otherwise the import may timeout, because the import occurs real time, because you’re running the script manually, and not via cron. If the user already exists in dap, then the script will just skip that user and move on to the next user in the bulk add list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" DAP allows you to easily import users in bulk from an external system or database.
