Overview:

We will walk you through on how to bulk upload employees' emergency contacts to the system. Just follow the steps below.

Step 1: Download/Make a copy of the template from this link

Step 2: Fill up the template accordingly

Here are some things to remember about the template as you are filling up:

Column A | System ID
- You can get this by generating an employee list through the Reports module. The first column in the report shows the system ID of the employees.
Column B | Primary
- Kindly indicate 'Yes' if you wish to tag the emergency contact as your primary contact. Otherwise, please fill in 'No'.
Column C | Name
- You may now fill in the name of the emergency contact in this column.
Column D and E | Phone number 1 country code and Phone number 1 number
- Please input the country code and the phone number in the columns, respectively.
Column F and G | Phone number 2 country code and Phone number 2 number
- If the emergency contact has another phone number, you may use these columns to fill it in. Otherwise, you may leave these columns blank.
Column H | Relationship
- Lastly, we have the Relationship column to indicate the relationship of the emergency contact to the employee.

Step 3. Upload the template in your Omni URL through "(company name).omnihr.co/new-import". For example, if your Omni URL is omnihr.omnihr.co, you will want to upload through "omnihr.omnihr.co/new-import".

Step 4. Once you're in the link, please click Import > select Update Emergency contact from the dropdown. From here, you may attach the file and click 'Import' afterwards.

Step 5. You will be receiving an email with an attached file which you may check to see if all the entries are updated / imported successfully. It will indicate 'Success!' if the row is upload successfully; otherwise, it will show the details why it did not push through. Adjust the upload template accordingly if with failed entries, then try uploading again.
