As of March 2019, a new feature has been added allowing you to upload a spreadsheet of affected people into Crisisworks. This is useful in an Emergency situation where affected people may have been recorded at a relief centre.

This means that if more than one contact in the import file have the same address, a recovery case will be created and the first contact will be created and linked as the applicant. Subsequent contacts with the same address will also be created and then linked as related affected people into the same case.

Due to the requirement to maintain strong audit, Crisisworks does not allow records to be simply deleted. This means it's important to ensure your import file is trouble-free. Thankfully, Crisisworks offers features to provide pre-import import testing as well as post-import tracking the imported records.
Please read the general Importing Data into Crisisworks instructions for more information about how to import data. |
To import Case Applicants and Affected People go to the Import system via Administration > Settings > Import Data. From the "What do you want to import?" drop down list on the Import Form, choose the Recovery Contact Persons option and click Next.

In the import form you should choose the correct region and the event you wish to import these records into.
