Upload People into MissionInsite
Uploading people defines your ministry area. This lets you see your ministry's reach and depth so you can connect and build relationships with members.
Before you can upload people data, make sure your data is properly formatted in an Excel or .csv format. Ministry partners using one of the following products can find detailed instructions for creating a export prior to uploading.
For others, use the best practices for exports listed in the ACS or PDS help articles below.
