Bulk Add Participant
Summary
The Bulk Add tool is designed to support facilitators in efficiently creating and adding multiple Participant Profiles simultaneously. A standardized spreadsheet is available for download to facilitate the entry of all required information for each new participant. This document will cover using the Bulk Add tool along with download, configurating, and using the required spreadsheet. Reach out to our Customer Success department if you have questions or to request a demo at support@s2cognition.com
