Import Users from 7.5 to v8

I am trying to run a test user import to version 8.  We have additional fields we would like to include in our import.  These two fields have been added to the customized profile this morning as "required."

I want to upload the following:

first-name, last-name, login, email, password, dept, lms id

Using the .csv file has anyone been able to upload a file with more than just first-name, last-name, login, email, password? 

If so can you advise how you were able to do this?

Thanks,
DK

Re: Import Users from 7.5 to v8

I finally figured out the issue, when saving I was instructed to "add" the commas after each name, title, email and so on

I also found how to add customized fields to the import as well

type in the header x-    and then the field id.  To find the field id, go to your customized field item, click on the hyperlink, then look in the URL it will look similar to this:  field-id=x-department 

In some cases you will see:  field-id=x-31410  or other numbers listed here if you add your own instead of using the pre-defined options.
