You can upload or download a user data file by using the Employee Import or Employee Export tools. These tools can be accessed in the following ways:

We have universally enabled the delta mode in Employee Import and Basic User Import. The delta mode considers the rows changed in the import file. Only the data records that have actual changes will be imported, and the unchanged rows will not be updated to the system again. The delta mode helps reduce import time and improve import performance. Before, when you updated user information using Employee Import or Basic User Import, all records were imported.

1. Preparing a User Data File
   A user data file is a Comma-Separated Value (CSV) file that contains basic information about your users, such as username and manager hierarchy, as well as any additional information that your company uses. Prepare your own user data file before you upload it to the system.
2. Importing Basic User Data
   You can upload a user data file to Employee Import tool to update basic user data only in systems that do not have Employee Central enabled.
