You can use our standard templates to format your historical data prior to uploading content to the Content Library, and a variety of templates are available for download in Excel format.
There are two required fields that must be populated during the Standard Template import process:
The standard templates provide the flexibility to set many attributes for your Q&A pairs including owners, review cycles, tags, star ratings, and more. Some values require a specific format.
Values | Formatting Requirement and Notes |
Adding Multiple Owners | Use the email address associated with the user's account. All owner emails must be separated by a semicolon (;) with no spaces in between. |
Alternative Questions | Must be open text fields. |
Tags | All tags must be separated by a semicolon (;) as the delimiter. Tags do not need to be created in the system prior to importing via this upload. |
Last Updated Date | Date format options: 2022-12-31 or 12/31/2022. |
Next Review Date | Date can be in a variety of formats but must include the day, month and year (see above for examples). |
Owners | Enter the email address associated with the user's account. The user status can be pending verification. Do not reference the owner by their name; you must use their email address. For multiple owners, separate each email address with a semicolon (;) with no spaces in between. |
Collection | All collections must be separated by a semicolon (;) with no spaces in between. |
Moderators | Use the email address associated with the user's account. Multiple moderators can be specified, separated by a space as the delimiter. There must not be a new line separating the values. |
View/Edit Privacy | The value is Everyone by default. To customize privacy settings, enter the user role(s) in the appropriate cell. Use a semi-colon (;) as the delimiter if you want to enter multiple values. This option allows you to set different attributes for your Q&As (such as different privacy settings based on the Q&A pair). Privacy can be set in bulk (applied to all Q&As) from the Configuration screen prior to import. |
Enable Answer Library Review | To enable the review, select True from the drop-down. To disable the review, choose False or leave blank. |
