How do I upload employees in bulk to Atlas?

Written by Cipher

Uploading multiple employees to Atlas is quick and straightforward. The steps below will guide you through how to fill in the spreadsheet and upload it to Atlas.

Important: Granting an employee access to Atlas automatically creates an associated user profile. If you've provided an e-mail address for an employee, then an activation e-mail will be sent to them to have them create their password. We recommend that you inform your employees they will be receiving these e-mails, and that you upload at an appropriate time to ensure they can sign in.


1. Go to the employee management section

  • From the Dashboard, click on Employees > Manage from the left-hand navigation menu.

2. Start the import process

  • Click the Actions icon (...) button in the top-right corner.

  • Select Import employee data.

3. Download and complete the template

  • Click the Download template button, which gives you the template with instructions.

    • First name
