Logging into the Utility

This section explains how to log into the Bulk Upload Utility with your NowForce administrator username. As a best practice, always log in immediately before using the utility, regardless of previous usage.

Note the following limitations prior to login:

  • You cannot log into the Bulk Upload Utility and NowForce system at the same time with the same username. Logging into one will log you out of the other.
  • You cannot log into more than one instance of the spreadsheet with the same username. Logging into one instance will log you out of the other.

To log into the Bulk Update Utility

  1. Open the email you received from NowForce and click Open in Sheets.

    You can optionally save the link as a favorite in the browser for future access. However you must be logged in to your Google account to update the spreadsheet.

  2. Enter your system administrator username and password in the corresponding fields.

  3. Select the Please check to confirm that you read the instructions below checkbox. To do so, click the field and select the lower option.

  1. Click the Login button adjacent to Username and Password.

    Login fails if the Username or Password cells are still selected. Click elsewhere in the spreadsheet and then click Login again.

  2. If you are logging in for the first time, do the following:

    1. In the Authorization Required window, click Continue to give your account access to the spreadsheet.

    2. If you have more than one Gmail account, double-click the relevant account in the Choose an account window.

    3. On the Import Users page, click Allow to link your system user to the Gmail account.

  3. Wait until the authentication script completes and you receive the message "Login successful, you can proceed to upload items".
