Uploading Source Files Back to LearnCenter

After you are satisfied that your Source files have the data you want, upload them to LearnCenter. LearnCenter can create or update all of the event

The Source File must be saved as a .TXT file before you upload it to LearnCenter. LearnCenter will not accept Microsoft® Excel spreadsheet files. You can do your editing in Excel, but remember to save it as a .TXT before you upload.

On the Control Panel:

Click on the Integrations menu to expand it.
Click Bulk Loader.
Click Browse next to the Source File type you are uploading.
Navigate to the location where you have saved your .TXT Source file.
Select the file and click Open.
Select the following check boxes in the Settings section:

Update Existing Records - to indicate that you want to update existing records that match the items in your data file. By default, the Bulk Loader will only create new records when this check box is selected. This indicates that you want to take two actions:

To create new records

AND
To update existing records that match the items in your data file.

This safeguard prevents you from accidentally overwriting events. Note that in general, LearnCenter does not enforce unique training item names. If the Bulk Loader finds more than one training item record with the exact same name, it will generate an error in the results file to call that situation to your attention in order to give you the option to update the training item names to be unique and rerun the data file.

You can use this check box to tell LearnCenter to bypass this error and just overwrite matching event names.

Skip Blank Data Fields - enables you to only update certain fields across many events. For example, to update the Location for multiple sessions, just input the names of the events you are changing and only put data in the Location column. Columns with no data are skipped for all of these events. Only the columns with data are changed.
Notify When Complete. - When you upload data, the generation of your data is queued up behind other jobs, so it may not complete right away. Selecting this option indicates that you want to receive a notice to tell you when the data generation is complete. You can then view a results file and see if the upload was successful or if there were errors.

Click Save and Run.
