Creating the Company Configuration File

The Company Configuration file is an .xlsx spreadsheet that is the only method of configuring and updating information in the Engage app. The file must be uploaded by admins into the appropriate CRM org both during initial configuration, as well as anytime the admin wishes to update information within the app.

This file contains tabs for each of the following configuration areas:

  • Company – Defines company information
  • Rep – Lists all CRM users configured to use Engage Connect
  • Brands – Defines each brand associated with the company
  • Resources – Defines all resources associated with each brand
  • Content – Approved content that users can send to HCPs via chat
  • Footer – Defines the contents of the footer that displays below approved content
  • Sample – Information regarding samples that HCPs can request from users
  • Attributes – This tab is for internal purposes only and should not be edited
  • Align – Enables admins in certain countries to align CRM users to a physical location
  • Test HCPs – Enables admins to create test HCP users for testing HCP functionality
  • Contact – This tab is for internal purposes only and should not be edited

Renaming these tabs causes the import to fail.

To create both a backup of the existing configuration, as well as create a template for correct data formatting, admins should first export their existing company configuration settings:

  1. Navigate to the Engage Connect Group Administration tab.
  2. Navigate to the Company Data Import/Export section.

  3. Select Export Data.

Once the spreadsheet downloads, admins can populate the following tabs on the spreadsheet to configure the following settings and content availability.

The Company Tab

The Company Tab defines the company name and environment the data is imported into. Every import of Company Configuration files must include this tab, even if the information within the tab is not updated.

Importing the Company Configuration File

Once the appropriate information is added or edited for all tabs, admins can implement the configuration by uploading the Company Configuration file:

  1. Navigate to the Engage Connect Group Administration tab.
  2. Navigate to the Company Data Import/Export section.
  3. Select Choose File in the Start Import section.

  4. Select the appropriate .xlsx file.
  5. Select Start Import.
  6. Select Refresh Status until Import Complete displays.

Once the import is complete, admins can select Download Results to view the status of the import for each tab.

Best Practices for Importing Company Configuration Files

  • Do not rename any column in any tab. This causes the import to fail.
  • Save an export of the existing Company Configuration file before importing the edited Company Configuration file
  • Do not use old downloaded Company Configuration files when updating information. Always export the most recent configuration file first.
  • To reduce the risk of unintentional edits, delete any tabs or rows that are not being edited by the Company Configuration file. The Company tab must always be included.
  • Data cannot be deleted from the system via the Company Configuration file. To remove a row’s visibility, for example, on the Resource, Content, or Sample tabs, set the Active? column to False.
