Once you have created Properties for your patron profiles, you can import data to those new properties in bulk. 

### Import data to custom properties

:::::WorkflowBlock
:::WorkflowBlockItem
Navigate to the Importing tab within Properties to start.
:::

::::WorkflowBlockItem
The import page will show all the active properties that have been created.

From here, you can obtain a list of the column names needed for the import, a template for your custom properties, and view how options should be formatted (if using the checkbox, multi-checkbox, Ludus Admin, or dropdown properties).

It is important to use the exact "Internal Name" for the column header to ensure columns are automatically matched in the import tool.

Checkboxes, Drop-downs, and Ludus Admin options must match exactly to import.
