Upload a Membership Directory Data File

You may upload a data file to populate your Membership Directory database using the SmartSite Vendor Directory page template. The page template contains an upload feature for this purpose.

Date File Format

The Membership Directory Data File should be stored as a plain text file in tab delimited format. (Both Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Access can save a file in this format.) Each line of the file is one record with every record consisting of 13 fields. The fields, in order, must be:

firstname
last name
company/organization
address 1
address 2
city
state
zip code
country
telephone
fax
e-mail address
Web site URL

A record may contain empty values for fields that are not utilized, but all 13 fields must be present in the file.
