    Guest &/or Owner Import

    Information on the requirements for the Guest &/or Owner Import available in RMS.

    Import Information

    • The file to be imported must be in a comma delimited .csv format (Field Delimiter).
    • If a data field within this file contain commas, it should be surrounded with "double quotes" (Text Delimiter).
    • Microsoft Excel is able to save using a .csv format that should match these requirements.
    • RMS is able to determine whether the first record is a header record.
    • Each line should have either a Group name or a Surname.
    • Guests and Owners should be imported separately.


    Import Options

    There are two options to select when doing a Guest Import:

    • Import all records as a new guest - This option will import all guests in the .csv file as a new guest in RMS.
    • Update Existing Guest Based on Matching LegacyID - When this is chosen the Import utility will use field 17, Legacy Guest ID, to locate the Guest in RMS and update all fields with the information in the .csv file.
