Want to simplify user database management and save time? This article is for you! 👇
1. Overview
This feature is based on a configurable FTP connection from the "Manage Users" page. It allows you to import data via a remote file in a scheduled and automated manner. Administrators can:
- Update data in real-time
- Run simulations before execution
- Monitor and track the connection status
2. Initial Setup
Access the User Management Page
- Log in to the platform as a super administrator.
- Go to the "Manage Users" page.

Configure the FTP Connection
- Fill in the essential information using the FTP configuration form, including:

- Directory where the file is located on the server.
- File containing the user data.
- Click on Save to validate the configuration.
3. Connection Monitoring and Management
Track Connection Status
- Go to the Status Page to monitor the FTP connection status.
- Check the possible statuses:
- Active: The connection is operational.
- Suspended: The connection is on hold.
Available Actions
- Edit FTP settings (host, port, directory, file...).
- Suspend the connection to pause automatic updates.
- Resume the connection to restart the process.
4. Update and Simulation
Run an Update
- Click on the Update Now button.
- The system applies the changes directly to the user database.
- A detailed report is sent by email
Run a Simulation
- Click on the Run Simulation button.
- This option allows you to test the update without modifying the user database.
