Importing new invitees from Excel

Please be aware that Lyyti is developed constantly and your view might not match 100% with the view described in this article. 

When you already have participants in your event, and you need to add more invitees, you can add additional information to the new imported group. This way you can separate the new imported group from the existing participants, e.g. when selecting recipients in messaging. 

Importing new invitees / participants from Excel

First add additional column to your Excel. You can add any kind of information to this column, just make sure that everyone on the Excel-list has the same information. It can be e.g. a date (1.12.)

After you've fixed your Excel, go to Participants page > Add participants> Add participants from Excel

1. Copy Excel columns that you wish to be imported and paste the information to the field in Lyyti. You do not need to copy the headings, but remember to copy the additional column that has the identifying information of this group. 
2. Define what kind of information is in each column. 
3. The additional column in your Excel should be Additional information in Lyyti. 

Import participants.
