Everything to do with people: adding them, bringing them over from a spreadsheet, and letting them into their own area.

Bringing members in from a spreadsheet

Magón panel → Import. You upload a CSV file. Before you start:

• Save the sheet as CSV separated by semicolons.
• The first row holds the column names.
• The screen shows you which columns it expects. You do not need them all: name, surname and email are enough.

The importer does not duplicate: if a member already exists —same email or same full name— it updates them instead of creating a second one.

Your own fields

Every association records different things: kit size, row number, whether they hold a driving licence. Add those in Magón panel → Fields and they appear on every member record.

Letting a member into their area

A member needs two things: their record in SociWeb and a Joomla user account, linked to each other. Normally you do not create either by hand:

1. Magón panel → Invitations.
2. Pick who to invite.
3. Each one gets an email, sets their own password and is linked automatically.

If no email goes out at all, it is almost always the sender address. See the Email section of this manual.

Duplicate members

It always happens when a file is imported twice. In the member list, select both and use Merge: one record is left holding the data of both, with no payments or documents lost.
