Character encoding

When importing data for multiple users to Priima using a file, the file must be UTF-8 encoded, so that all characters are correctly displayed in the user data. For example, a file made in Excel should be stored in the form of CSV UTF-8. When importing the file, Priima will point out, if there is not the right encoding in use.

Please note! On Mac devices, the saving UTF-8-formatted files in Excel usually works directly, but for Windows machines it is advisable to do the following:

  • for example, a list of users is created in Excel and stored as a csv file
  • open the csv file in Notepad and re-save it with UTF-8 encoding

Existing users

If the CSV file includes users who already have an account in Priima environment, the information for the existing users will be changed to match the values selected during import.

The feature allows users to continue to set group and course memberships, permission level, language, and username validity. The group and course memberships set in the new import as well as the validity periods of the user account will immediately take effect for existing users as well. If the account has , the account will be reopened.

This feature allows you to create a message that will be sent immediately to new and existing users. For new users, the message includes the login page address, username, and password. Existing users will be notified if they were added to a course or group. The message contains the address of the login page, and username, but not the password. If necessary, the user can subscribe a new password from the login page Forgot your password? using the function.

The Summary view lists all the users in the CSV file and shows you which settings are selected. The following view distinguishes the new accounts from those that already existed in Priima.
