How to Place a Data Import Work Order with NUWS

The Organizer’s Toolbox Import Tool makes it easy for trained Toolbox Administrators to import new data and update existing data without needing help from NUWS staff.  While NUWS encourages administrators to do these imports on their own, NUWS staff will be available to do the import on a case by case basis if there is nobody on your team trained on how to use the Import Tool.  A fee may be charged for this service.

In order for NUWS staff to import data accurately and efficiently, we need you to include certain information with your request.  Please be sure to include the following:

  • Employer name
  • The name of your organization and the Toolbox database name
  • Project
  • Are we importing new records or updating existing records?
  • your telephone number
  • Any other special instructions
  • Data Source Name

In order for us to process your data import, you will need to correctly label the fields in your import file with the corresponding fields in Toolbox.  To see a list of importable fields and the correct field headings, please download the document here.  If you are unsure which fields you’d like to have your data imported to, please contact and we’ll be happy to help you figure out the best place to store your data in Toolbox.  Failing to include all of the information listed above may result in delays to your data import.

Our standard turnaround time for data import is one week from the time we receive it.  If you need it faster, please let us know.
