Objective
Upload Data is where you would find the tools to take data files from another enterprise system and upload them into SAP Fieldglass.
Standard upload connectors must be enabled in the company configuration before they are available for use by a company. The format of the data entered in upload templates varies based on the data being uploaded.
| 1 | To view the upload controls and the list of upload templates available to WorkingNet’s tenant, select Upload Data from the Integration section of the admin menu. |
The Upload Data List page shows not only the available templates that can be populated for data upload but has the controls that allow the data to be uploaded. A brief description of each is listed to the right of each connector title. More information for each connector template is available by clicking the title of the connector.

WorkingNet Networking, Inc., a global manufacturer of data networking equipment, has a new business unit called NetAlysis. NetAlysis recently hired a number of new employees who will need access to SAP Fieldglass. Nelson, WorkingNet’s director of Human Resources, downloaded a data file from the Human Resource Information System containing the information of the Users who will need access.
As you’re the SAP Fieldglass administrator for WorkingNet, you’ll need to populate a User Upload connector with the data Nelson provided to perform a bulk upload of users.
Note that for bulk User uploads, the recommended solution is to create an integration to automate the process. The user connector we’re about to walk through has been leveraged as a manual upload for demonstration purposes.
Upload Data in SAP Fieldglass involves tools that facilitate the transfer of data files from other enterprise systems into SAP Fieldglass. The key steps include enabling standard upload connectors, formatting data, and uploading it through the admin interface.
