When using the Export file for Uploading later back into the system, the Unique Reference parameter is used as the key. Therefore it would be wise and prudent, prior to exporting the file, to ensure that ALL the Job/Roles have a Unique Reference parameter.

    button

Note

Definer parameter not exported

The Definer parameter is NOT currently exported or able to be bulk updated. Because Definer is based on a selectable person-ID, (Email address), this is not an easy option to facilitate as a bulk upload.

Note: The parameter will not be cleared or overwritten either during the Upload.

Upload Jobs Step-by-step guide

You are able to upload Job/Role definitions using bulk upload functionality.

  1. Unless you are using an Upload file produced via Export Jobs, you will first need to Download a copy of the Bulk Upload template

    1. Select the Download Bulk Upload Template button

    2. Save the downloaded Excel Workbook template to your own System/PC

    3. Populate the downloaded template with 1 new Job or Role per row

      • Notes:

        • Row 2 provides details of how the columns need to be populated

        • The first 4 columns must be populated:

          • Name - The name of the job/role.

          • Type - Must contain one of the selectable values (i.e. cannot be blank or your own value)

          • Seniority - Must contain one of the selectable values (i.e. cannot be blank or your own value)

          • Employment Status - Must contain one of the selectable values (i.e. cannot be blank or your own value)

        • The remaining columns are free text fields that can be populated later using the editor. However see the info below pertaining to column 5 (Unique Reference).

        • We strongly recommend that all new Jobs/Roles are provided with a Unique Reference parameter. While the parameter is not compulsory, it is used as the key for updating Jobs/Roles using the Upload functionality

        • Details of the format for the LoRs and Required and Desirable Skills data is shown under the Example Bulk Template shown on the right

    4. Ensure that the Header row remains intact

    5. Delete or overwrite the provided Row 2

    6. Save the Populated file

  2. Select the type of Insert & Update you wish to use. (the default is Insert & Update):

    • Insert & Update- Will insert any Job that does NOT have the same Unique Reference parameter as one already in the system, and Update the details of any jobs with the same Unique Reference parameter.

    • The Unique Reference cannot be Updated using the bulk upload features. To add a Unique Reference to a previously uploaded job you will need to edit the Job/Role manually

    • Insert Only - Will insert the Jobs/Role documented in the file

    • Update Only - Will make updates to any job with the same Unique Reference in the system.

  3. Use the Select Files button to browse and select the file you have prepared for Bulk Upload from your System/PC

  4. Use the dialogue to Upload the Jobs into the Workspace

  5. You will get a set of prompts and messages indicating that the upload is in progress.

    • Do not attempt any further Uploads until the processing message disappears

  6. Information pertaining to the Upload will appear in the Import Queue table including any errors found, successful import etc. e.g.

  7. Once jobs have been uploaded you will now be able to Edit the uploaded jobs/Roles it-situ if needed, and make them available etc


Example Bulk Template:

Format of LoRs:

  • Leave cell blank if you wish to edit in later

    • Use the LoR code of:

      • AUTO - Autonomy

      • INFL - Influence

      • COMP - Complexity

      • BSKL - Business Skills

      • KLGE - Knowledge

    • Followed by the Level number

    • Separated by Commas (,)

    • e.g. AUTO6,INFL6, COMP6,BSKL7,KLGE6

Format of both the Required Skills and Desirable Skills:

  • Leave cell blank if you wish to edit in later or if there are none

    • Use the official SFIA Skill codes

    • Followed by the Level number

    • Separated by Commas (,)

    • e.g. PRMG4, USUP3

Warning

LoR and Skill codes MUST be the official codes as defined for the SFIA version your workspace was created under. (e.g SFIA v7). If you include codes from a different version of SFIA that are not also in the current version, or use invalid/misspelled codes, it will result in unreliable outcomes such as the whole upload file being rejected and not uploading as expected.

Tip

Definer Parameter not included

The Definer parameter is NOT currently exported or able to be bulk updated. Because Definer is based on a selectable person-ID, (Email address), this is not an easy option to facilitate as a bulk upload.

Note: The parameter will not be cleared or overwritten either during the Upload.


Note
  • The Unique Reference parameter is used as the key and is unable to be updated via the Upload functionality. Should you try and change the Unique Reference parameter for a Job using Insert & Update, it will instead insert a duplicate job, but with the new Unique Reference.

  • If the upload detects any issues/errors such as a duplicate Name it reports them as part of the upload checking.

e.g. invalid file detected record at row 8 duplicate job name

Be aware! When checking the Upload file that row 8 in this case, will actually be Row 9 in the upload spreadsheet. i.e. the Header in Row 1 is not counted as an input row by the upload process.
