Importing users in MyChat

 

The button "Show settings" / "Hide settings" shows or hides the panel with settings for processing the text.

 

The button "Process the text" repeatably processes text and displays a result. It is used when changes are made in the text for processing on the top part. For example, if there are people in the list whom you do not need to import (they are already on the server, or other reasons)— delete the whole line with the description of this person and process the text again.

 

Example.

 

The button  "Upload to the server" sends the result on the server. Press the button when the result consists of at least one entry and the table has selected corresponding fields.

 

Configuring file's parameters


Settings consist of parameters that responsible for processing your file and uploading results on the server. If the file's parameters differ from the default ones, configure them by yourself.

 

Press the button "Show settings" to display the settings panel.
