Need instructions on formatting and uploading a contact list for Pulse Checks? Read [this article](https://helpdesk.possip.com/knowledge/how-to-format-and-upload-a-contact-list?hsLang=en).
### Formatting a List
When pulling a contact list from your Information System or staff database, please export the following columns into a spreadsheet:
- Contact ID
- Contact First Name
- Contact Last Name
- Contact Email
- Contact Phone
- Contact Phone Type (If you know it, include the phone type of mobile, landline, or undefined in this field).
- Contact Language - ([Click here](https://hubs.ly/H0PZqYq0) for a list of languages Possip translates).
- Organization, Business, PTA, PTO, etc. Name
Your spreadsheet can be formatted using any spreadsheet software, including Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets.
**Download this spreadsheet [here](https://helpdesk.possip.com/hubfs/possip%20staff-upload-headers-21%20.xlsx?hsLang=en).**
### Formatting Contact Lists for Multiple Staff Groups
If you are preparing contact lists for multiple staff groups at once, use the "organization name" column to indicate which school, organization, PTA/PTO, etc. each contact is affiliated with.
If your data export creates a tab or workbook for each group, create a blank “All Contacts” tab and copy and paste the data from each individual tab.
### Uploading a List
When you are ready to upload your new contact list, please complete the following steps.
**STEP 1:** Log in to [https://www.weeklypossip.com/login](https://www.weeklypossip.com/login).
**STEP 2:** Click on “Documents” and “Add Document” and attach your document.
**STEP 3**: Click “Save.”
**Note:** Make sure you leave the setting on "public" to allow Possip and any admin on your team with login credentials to view it.
