Importing Team Members (for Onboarding)

Learn how to complete the onboarding Team Member Import spreadsheet.

Written by MaryGrace Flores

Use this article during onboarding when your Equip contact asks you to complete a Team Member Import spreadsheet and send it back to Equip. This helps Equip create staff accounts as part of your account setup.

These templates may also be linked from the New Equip Customer Onboarding Survey. The link opens the same shared template.


Make a copy before you fill it out

Do not edit the shared template directly. Make your own copy first so the original template stays clean for other customers.

  1. Open the template link.

  2. In Google Sheets, select File.

  3. Select Make a copy.

  4. Rename the file with your organization name.

  5. Choose where to save it in your Google Drive.

  6. Select Make a copy.

  7. Fill out your copy, not the original shared template.

If you do not use Google Drive, select File → Download → Microsoft Excel (.xlsx), then fill out the downloaded file in Excel.

Already live in Equip? If your team is uploading a file yourselves from the Team Members page, use Importing Team Members instead.
