Importing Learners

Adding new learners to the platform is super easy, and we've got a few options available depending on your preference. 

To get started importing your learners follow these easy steps:

• Login and access your  'Admin dashboard'
• Navigate to the 'Users' section, 
• Click on the 'Add Users' button located top right corner. Managers will have the choice to:

1. Manually 'Add User' one at a time,
2. 'Import Users' in bulk via a CSV file, or 
3. 'Sync Users' using Active Directory Integration.

How to Add Learners Manually:

You may need to add single new joiners during your ongoing awareness program, the quickest way to do this is by adding them manually.

To begin, follow these easy steps:

• Navigating to the 'Users' section
• Click the 'Add Users' button located in the top right corner
• Select 'Add User'. 
• Provide Information for the learner
• Click 'Save'.

How To Import Learners via CSV

The simplest method for adding learners is by importing a CSV file or Excel spreadsheet provided by your HR team. No need for complex formatting; just select the relevant data fields such as first name, last name, email, and department.

Here are the recommended fields to include in your CSV file:

1. First names of learners
2. Last names of learners
3. Company email addresses
4. Departments

To begin, follow these easy steps:

• Navigate to the 'Users' section.
• Click 'Add Users' button located in the top right corner.
• Select 'Import Users'.
• Click 'Load Users From File'.
• Choose your CSV file and click 'Complete Upload'.

Syncing Learners by Active Directory

For organisations with a large number of learners being frequently added and removed, syncing learner imports with our Active Directory Integration feature is a preferred option. Currently, we integrate with Microsoft Active Directory.

To begin, follow these easy steps:

• Navigate to the 'Users' section.
• Click the 'Add Users' button located in the top right corner.
• Select 'Sync Users'.

New Learner Onboarding Notifications

First-time learners on the platform will receive two emails to their mailboxes from app@goldphish.com.

1. The first is an automated onboarding welcome email, containing their Username and a 'Set password' link (or "token") to the platform to get started with their training program.
2. The second is a 'New Training Notification' email that notifies the learner that new training has been assigned to them by their manager.
