Uploading Employees

While Mosaic can be used to input employees (members), members can also be uploaded from other tools to Mosaic for complete budgets and details on the progress of your projects.

To upload members:

  1. Confirm either Mosaic Support or your Customer Success Manager have enabled the members upload tool on your account. To request this tool be added to your account, reach out to our team via [email protected]

  2. Next, download the members import template here

🚧

Please Note:

Ensure your data is accurate and all employees are spelled correctly. Employees will be created exactly as you’ve entered them on the import template.

Ensure employee information is consistent throughout the import template. For example, discrepancies like the following will create duplicates:

  • Employee: Benjamin Smith v Ben Smith

If Mosaic is integrated with your financial tool, ensure the names on the import template match what is in Mosaic.

Here is an overview of the details needed for each column:
