No matter the file is exported from your database or is typed by yourself, it should be modified to match the request format of the import file.
Request format:

Note: you will need to do following when modify your import file
- Modify the dept. path as parent dept./sub-dept. (eg. Marketing/Manager)
- Keep 11 columns in total
- Do not change the order of each column
- Enter users data (just leave it blank if no data for those optional columns)
- Do not remove the top two rows in blue color (for excel only)
- Save the text file into utf-8 format (for text file only)
