To upload a bulk list of names and emails/ members to your website, you need to first download your contact CSV template sheet from your Contact area inside the CCK system. Navigate to Contacts > More Button > Export as shown below.
On the pop-up screen, select yes to export your existing contacts. You can export 0 contacts - this is simply a way for you to get your contact file template.

Next, add your bulk list of users to this CSV template. Check all details.
To import your completed CSV sheet, navigate to Contacts > More Button > Import as shown below.
On the pop-up screen, confirm that you agree with the terms and select Import Now.
On the next pop-up screen, match all of your headings to the system headings.
Confirm that all of your columns have a tick mark to the left. For columns which can not be matched, select the skip option from the drop-down list. Confirm if the first line in your CSV sheet is a header.
Important: if you want all of your contacts to be added as members to your CCK website, you need to select the Create member option from the drop-down list next to the Registered field. If you do not want your contacts to be added as website members, select the skip option from the drop-down list next to the Registered field.
Your users will not receive any password setup emails from the CCK system when you add them in bulk as website members. When you are done, select the Next button.
