Applicant Tracking Software
Smart Importer for Loading Data
Smart Importer is another
clever idea from our development staff to make initial loading of
!Trak-It Applicant data as fast and easy as possible. It helps solve
the problem almost every new user faces, "How do I get my existing data
into Applicant?" The way the Smart Importer works is very simple. When
you are ready to import your existing data into Applicant, you make a
selection on the Applicant Import menu that generates a .csv template
which you then open in Excel. You use your spreadsheet software to move
your existing Applicant data into the appropriate columns, filling in
as much data items as you can. When finished you save the .csv file, go
back into Applicant and import the modified .csv file and your data is
imported.
But the Smart Importer does more than just blindly
import your data into Applicant; it also validates the data as it
imports. If it finds duplicate record, a log file is created telling
you which applicant numbers were duplicates. It also validates your
incoming data against your various code tables. There are almost 100
different data elements that get checked. In the case of user defined
code fields, if the incoming value is not already in your code table
the Smart Importer will add it and tell you which items were added. If
required fields were left empty, the Smart Importer will fill them with
a default value. So when you are done using the Smart Importer you will
have an Applicant system that is ready to use.
The Smart Importer can import data into the main
applicant screen, education, former employers, references,
requisitions, skills,tests, training and code tables. The Smart
Importer is just another example of why !Trak-It Applicant is the
friendliest Applicant tracking software and your best value.
