Hello all,
I did not find a correct format for the csv-file one can use to import users in a batch.
We have users with german umlauts in their names, as well as department-names with some more "special characters".
It would be ideal to have an example file (skeleton) where all possible exceptions are explained.
It was not possible for me - as an example - to simply double-qoute "Müller", "Jörg", "Abteilung 1.12, Müllverwertung"
and to import this correctly.
This is not just a cosmetic error as you might guess: if you import users like this, you get invalid values in some of the fields. It is sometimes impossible to do a "changeuser" manually afterwards, because the field contains garbage.
There must be a better and simpler way to do that.
TIA, Philipp
