Notes:

We recommend making a test with a couple of users to make sure that you get the desired results.

You can download the users IDs and other required information to fill the template from Learning, by performing a user search (People > Users) and clicking the "Download Search Results" button.

Fields to be updated must contain some data. It is not possible to update a record with blank data.

These instructions can also be applied to all other options available within the Record Type, including Learning History, Instructor, Admin Roles etc.
