Importing data in your tenant site

At the core of your Beeline Professional tenant is your data. Data about your contingent workforce and the structural elements that facilitate tracking workers, sourcing, spend, and much more.

As a Beeline Professional administrator, you’re responsible for populating and managing that data, which is securely stored in your Professional database. Whether you manage your data in an internal system and synchronize updates with an integration, manually input individual changes or bulk import mass updates, you administer the data that supports the workflows and processes unique to your business requirements in your tenant site.

The Professional data you add falls into two general categories: worker (transactional data) and organizational (reference data).

Worker data represents all the information associated with your employees and contingent workforce. Organizational data includes companies, business sites, cost centers, supervisory organizations, and job profiles.

Manually adding data lets you adjust information for a single record. Importing data lets you add net-new data in Professional.

Using the Import Data feature gives you a quick and efficient way to populate worker data into a tenant site. To further help you streamline populating data, Professional includes numerous predefined templates you can download, fill with the information you want to add, and then upload into a tenant site.

When you’re populating net new data via an import into a tenant after the initial setup, add reference data before you import worker data or configure user accounts for managed service providers (MSPs).

Reference data is organizational information used to create job postings in Professional.
