Quiz Extreme provides a mechanism for easily importing user accounts, in bulk, into the system. Using a Comma Separated Values (CSV) file, the administrator can specify a list of any number of user accounts to import. A CSV file can be created using a simple text editor, Microsoft (R) Excel, OpenOffice.org Calc, or using any number of third-party database applications that have CSV export capabilities.
File Format
The first line of the file must contain a list of field header names, each name separated by a comma. Each subsequent line should contain a new user definition where each value is specified separated by commas. For example:
USER_ID, FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME, PASSWORD
jash, Jeff, Ash, jash123
jdoe, John, Doe, jdoe123
jsmith, Julian, Smith, smithsonian123
