Many of you are being charged with the daunting task of changing the SubFinder^®Employee Number from a Social Security number to a district assigned ID. Worse yet, you may be asked to change this number for both your employee and substitutes. It may feel like an overwhelming task but, have no fear we can help!

CRS Incorporated has many import layouts which allow you to easily transfer data into SubFinder without having to enter the data by hand. By following our specifications, this huge task becomes very easy to manage.

Creating the Employee Number change

import is as easy as 1, 2, 3!

1. Create a spreadsheet using Microsoft® Excel with two columns. This first column   needs to contain the Employee Numbers currently used in SubFinder. The second column needs to contain the new Employee Number. You will need to make sure that both columns are Right Justified. Note: Each employee and/or substitute will have one row of data with their existing employee number next to their new number.

2. Save the file as a .TXT by clicking on the Save As option and using the Save As  

3. Type dropdown to select the Text (Tab Delimited) option. Using DataExchange Pro you can select to run an Employee Number import. If there are errors a log will appear on the screen. 

For examples please visit our Customer Support Site.  For questions please call or email your Account Specialist.
