File import specifications
Using MeetingTime, you can import profile and group information using a 
comma-delimited ASCII file. The import file must contain the user ID and 
profile number for each user profile record. If used, the group name and group 
number values must also be included.
Including other fields is optional. If fields are excluded from the import file, 
MeetingPlace takes the values from the guest profile or from the user group to 
which the user has been assigned. The first line of the ASCII file must contain 
field names that denote the order of the data in the import records.
N
OTES
Active values can be one of y or yesn or nogd or group default. Values 
are not case sensitive.
Fields with an asterisk (*) are user-specific fields. When you add users to 
the system, these are the most important fields to include in the import file.
Fields with two asterisks (**) are group-specific fields. When you add 
groups to the system, these are the most important fields to include in the 
import file.
For fields with three asterisks (***), specifying gd for any of the search 
fields configures the other search fields with the same value. For example, 
if you assign gd for First Search, then gd is applied to Second Search and 
Third Search.

Use this field to assign new IDs to 
several users. To import a series of new 
user IDs, create an import file and 
specify each user’s old ID using the uid 
field. Specify their new ID using the 
newuid field. (During import, prfpwd 
and upwd fields may be used for clear 
text passwords. However, adding data 
in clear text and encrypted password 
fields overrides encrypted version if 
import file contains both fields.)
