Movidesk allows you to automate the registration of people, who are your clients or agents. By using the import feature, we can associate companies with the people linked to each company.
 
It is important to understand the Movidesk workflow related to this registration before importing people. Click here for a detailed explanation of how the registration process works.
 
Important: For performance reasons and to avoid data overload, Movidesk imports only the first 1,000 people from the file. If your data set is larger, you will need to generate a file for every thousand people and repeat the import process for each file. Nothing after a blank line will be read.
To import people, go to Settings > People > Import people.
 
Below are the layout instructions for filling out the spreadsheet to be used for the import.

Attention: If you plan to hire the migration of data from another HelpDesk system to Movidesk, it is necessary to fill in the Cod. Ref field with the same identification code used in your previous system, to avoid any duplication of records after the migration is performed by our team. The migration team is not responsible for any duplicate records caused by a mismatch in the Cod. Ref.
💡 Tip: When formatting the Type and Profile columns in your spreadsheet, use only plain or automatic text numbers. To avoid errors, do not use commas, punctuation, or other formats.
