  • From the new landing page of VSM, click on the ‘People & Organisation’ tab in the menu bar
  • This will take you to the 'people Directory’ page
  • Then click on the ‘Import People’ icon (This will take you to the ‘People Import’ page)
  • On the right, near the top of the page are two links: ‘Download Basic Template’ and ‘Download Full Template’,(Click on one and save the spreadsheet to a location of your choice)

  • Click on the ‘People & Organisation’ tab in the menu bar
  • This will take you to the ‘People Directory’ page
  • To export the whole people directory, simply click on the ‘Export People’ icon to start the download. Alternatively, you can export some of the People Directory by first selecting filter items to include only those people you want in the spreadsheet. Then you can click on the ‘Export People’ icon
