Before you start using Sonia, you may have Supervisor/Academic/Liaison data that you would like to have imported into Sonia. We can do this by using the Supervisor Template spreadsheet at the bottom of this article. Once you have completed the template, please email it to ssd@qsrinternational.com, and we will import the Supervisors into your Test environment.
What is required to Import Supervisors
The only columns that are required on the template are FirstName and LastName; the rest are optional. Please note that you cannot shuffle the columns around or add new columns as that will cause issues.
