Import a List of Visitors to a Meeting

To import a list of visitors to a meeting:

  • Ensure your list of visitors is ready for import.
  • Navigate to the meeting you want to work with.
  • Import your list of visitors.
  • Select the meetings within the reservation to which to add your list of visitors.
  • Confirm and finalize.
Important!

To utilize the Advanced Visitor Management Module, you must purchase an additional license. Without this optional module, users must add visitors manually and the “Import” and “Print Format” buttons will not be available.

  1. Your list of visitors must be a tab-delimited spreadsheet that contains the information (in the order listed) for the visitors you want to import. Each visitor must be a separate line entry.
