What type of file format is required for bulk user imports in Smartsheet?

The required file format for bulk user imports in Smartsheet is CSV (Comma-Separated Values). This format is specifically designed to handle tabular data, making it suitable for importing user information such as names, email addresses, and other attributes needed for user accounts.

CSV files are widely accepted in many applications because they are simple text files that can be easily created and edited in spreadsheet software like Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets. This simplicity allows for efficient data management and ensures compatibility when transferring user information into Smartsheet.

The other file formats listed are less appropriate for this type of task. DOC is a word processing format that does not support tabular data structures needed for user imports. TXT files, while text-based, lack the structured organization that CSV provides, making it difficult to delineate information properly. PDF files are designed for presentation rather than data manipulation and therefore cannot be used for importing structured data into applications like Smartsheet.
