Viewers should go to the People directory, click the three dots, choose Import, then Import Employees, and download the sample templates. The employee template requires first name, last name, and email address as unique identifiers, and dates (such as date of birth or start date) can use dashes or slashes as long as formatting is consistent. For role changes over time, the role history template uses an effective date, which should be set to the start date if there are no role changes. During upload, Shapes maps required fields, offers Do Not Import for unwanted columns, runs validation checks, and provides a preview before importing.
