Updated OMDR Batch Uploads

I have great news from National. They have developed a new way to do a batch upload in OMDR that allows for uploads directly from an Excel spreadsheet...and the new feature is live today!

With this new way, users must use the formatted template or it can be found in the "Add Local Members Batch Upload" screen for users to download. Users can input their information into the template, save it to their computer, and then upload it into OMDR. Please note that the header row has to remain in this format and in the file.

Here are instructions on creating Excel files for upload. These instructions are additionally found on the "Add Local Members Batch Upload" screen.

Users who do not have Excel can continue to use the upload feature by changing the file into a csv and then txt file. Instructions for uploading ASCII/test files are also on the "Add Local Members Batch Upload" screen.

The live webinars do reflect the new upload feature and National will be archiving a new webinar soon. Please go to http://registration.intercall.com/go/nationalpta.
The following are the local unit OMDR webinars that are scheduled for the rest of the month and for November. Please encourage your local unit officers to attend a webinar if they are new to OMDR.

All times listed are Central time.
