3.9 Importing Contact Data to AgileCase

This lesson will cover importing your contact data into AgileCase using our template upload feature.

Why import data?

the data import feature allows you to quickly migrate a large volume of data to AgileCase.

Many of our users will be migrating from other systems and will already have an established base of clients and contacts.

Importing your data provides you with an easy to use spreadsheet that can be quickly filled out then uploaded to AgileCase. At which point the data will be merged in to your "Contacts" section, creating a large volume of contacts in very little time.

Go to the "Data Import" page

to access the data import feature, click "Data Import" under "User Admin" on the settings menu.

Download the file

Enable editing

Before you can enter data in the spreadsheet you may need to enable editing. To do this click the "Enable Editing" button on the prompt.

Enter your data

Once the spreadsheet is open, fill in the fields with the relevant data. The first field deals with contact types and uses a simple binary 0 to represent a person and 1 to represent a company.

You can then continue to fill out contact details.

The client code is a unique identifier for your contact that will be automatically generated by AgileCase if left blank.
