Creating Multiple Users
You can create up to 500 users in a single step. To create multiple users, click New User Block. The New User Block page appears.

When creating multiple users, you have two options. You can create the users manually or by uploading a list of users into TypingWeb.


Option 1: Create New Block

To create multiple users manually, select the numbe of users from the Users to create field. The Username Prefix field is used to create the unique name of all users, numbered sequentially. A message appears telling you this Username Prefix range and the default password for these users.

Next, select the group that users will be assigned to from the Add to group field. Click Continue to see the Upload Preview page.

The Upload Preview pages outlines the users you wish to create. Click Create X Users to continue. The users are created and appear in the Users window. If a username exists or another error has occurred, an X will appear next to the Status.

    To create multiple users:
  1. Click New User Block. The New User Block window appears.
  2. Select the number of users from the User to create field.
  3. Select the group that users will be assigned to from the Add to group field.
  4. Click Continue. The Upload Preview page appears.
  5. Click Create X Users. The User page appears.


Option 2: Uploading List of Users
You can upload a list of users to TypingWeb by using the New Block User window's second option. You must create a comma-separated (CSV) file that contains your list of users.

For each user, you must provide the usernames and passwords, and optionally their first names, last names, and email addresses in the file. You can use any program, such as Excel, to create the file as long as you save the file in a comma-separated values (CSV) format.

When you have finished creating your list of users as a CSV file, you can upload the file to TypingWeb. Click Browse to see the Choose File window. Select your user file and click Open.

Next, select the group that users will be assigned to from the Add to group field. Click Upload to see the Upload Preview page.

The Upload Preview window displays each user in your CSV file and indicates if the user's record is valid by displaying valid in the Status column. If your file is OK, click Create X Users to upload the users into TypingWeb. If the users were imported correctly, the Users page appears.

    To upload your CSV user file:
  1. Click New User Block. The New User Block window appears.
  2. In the Option 2 section of the window, click Browse. The Choose File window appears.
  3. Select your CSV file and click Open.
  4. Select the group that users will be assigned to from the Add to group field.
  5. Click Upload. The Upload Preview window appears.
  6. Click Create x Users.
