Import Process

Prior to pressing the Import button, the User Import dialog will look similar to the following example:

During an import, the User Import tool will perform the following steps:

1. First, this tool will check if a user specified in the import data exists in Lucity by using the Lucity Login.
   • If the user does not exist, a new user will be created.
   • If the user does exist, the tool will proceed to step 2.
2. The import process will then associate the user (whether new or existing) to the Windows Login account if the account information is provided in the import data.
3. After the data import has completed, one of the following two message boxes will be displayed:

   

• This message indicates that all records were successfully imported. It also indicates how many new users were created, how many Windows Accounts were added to Lucity, and how many existing users were associated to new Windows Accounts.

  

• In addition to showing the number of new users created, new windows accounts created, and existing users associated to new windows accounts, the second possible message indicates that some records were unable to be imported. If there are Invalid Records, the User Information grid will identify those invalid records with this symbol: . By hovering your cursor over this symbol, a description of why the record failed to import will be displayed.
