Applicable Release:
All Versions
Summary:
You can use the Job Profile Assignment Data Loader to assign job profiles to users, and also add, update and delete users' job profile assignment types.
To get started, run report 422 - Job Profile Assignments in CSV Data Loader Format, to export to a CSV file the users whose job assignments you want to associate assignment types to. Add the assignment types to the JobProfileAssignmentType column, and then import the CSV file via the Job Profile Assignment Data Loader.
You can only add job profile assignment types that have been defined in the Assignment Types page. For more information, see About Job Profile Assignment Types.
For more information about the Job Profile Assignment Data Loader fields, see Job Profile Assignment Data Loader Field Reference.
When assigning a job profile to a user, the mandatory fields are Action, UserID and JobProfileReferenceCode.
When associating a job profile assignment type with a user's job profile, you must also include the JobProfileAssignmentType value.
Administrators with unrestricted access to the Job Profile Assignment Data Loader feature in System Roles (Manage Features > Competency Manager Features) can import job profile assignments.
To import job profiles, go to Manage Center > Talent > Job Profile Assignment Data Loader.
Preparing CSV Files for Import
To prepare a user CSV file for import, you can download a template CSV file from the Job Profile Assignment Data Loader page and populate the fields as required. Alternatively, you can run report R422 – Job Profile Assignments in CSV Data Loader Format to export existing job profile assignments for editing outside of the LMS.
Note that CSV files are likely to be opened by Microsoft Excel if it is installed on your system. If you encounter any problems with importing a CSV file into the LMS, it could be caused by Microsoft Excel applying extra formatting to the file. Alternatively, you can edit CSV files in a text editor instead of Microsoft Excel. The data should conform to the formatting required by the template as specified in the corresponding CSV Formatting Help.
If the values for text area fields include punctuation, these fields must be enclosed in double quotation marks (" "). Do not include commas or semicolons in other fields as they could be interpreted as a field delimiter (depending on your choice of delimiter at import).
