How do I manually import data files in Tilt?
Five upload types, one page — import data manually and check the status of any file, including SFTP feeds.
Overview
The Uploads page under Org Settings is where HR users manually import data files and check the status of files uploaded manually or through SFTP. Tilt accepts five upload types: employee profile data, pay history data, cohort creations, bulk add salary effective dates, and Other. The Other type stores a document in Tilt without updating any platform data.
Who this applies to / Prerequisites- You must be an HR user to manage all Org Settings.
- Your company must have completed (or be actively in) Tilt implementation.
