Support : Uploading the Staff List
Uploading a staff list into BEAMS is a simple process and can be done quickly via the Admin menu. This allows bulk addition or updating of staff records using one of two formats. Either a standard excel spreadsheet with three columns (First Name, Last Name & Staff Email) or the CSV format exported from ICON.
