I have a CSV file with all the basic information (Username, First Name, Last Name and E-mail Address) of a lot of users I'd like to add to my application.

What is the best way to add them, without having to insert all that data by hand?

Thanks in advance,

@ricardoc To the best of my knowledge, a crude idea is, a process could be designed which parses the csv (There are shared components which does this job, for instance 'Parse CSV File Plug-in' shared component at https://forum.appian.com/suite/tempo/records/type/components/item/i4BCLGOdlMUpdGVqT-RV7oRg74uEGJO5C77dZR9QxsYRIFy4ythx7m03eRArlMu/view/summary) and later on for each User object, you can create the user record by making use of 'Add User' smart service (in-case if the User object doesn't exist) and update the user's profile by using 'Update User Profile' smart service.

Also I would like to suggest to go through 'Import Users' shared component at https://forum.appian.com/suite/tempo/records/type/components/item/i8BCLGOdlMUpdGVqT-RV7oRg74uEGJO5CYaqNwEP7JVI7hMbsG1oLiIA1rhzP_RbA/view/summary.

Hope that gives you leads.
