How to invite multiple Players to a Project

When inviting multiple Players, you can add new and existing users to the Project at the same time. To do so:

1. Select and Project and go to Project Tools. 
2. Select “Player Manager (Project)” under User Management and Awardables.
3. Click on .
4. Locate the section "Add Multiple Players".
5. Follow the instructions to create an excel spreadsheet (in .xls) with the Players' details - see the bottom of this article for a template excel spreadsheet:
   

   1st column:  Players' names 2nd column:  Players' email addresses Do not include column headers Save in .xls format

6. Under "Upload a Spreadsheet", click  to upload.
7. You have the option to not send Project invitation to existing Players by unchecking . However, all new Players (i.e. those without an account) will receive emails for account activation and Project invitation - learn more below.
8. Once the file is uploaded successfully, click  to invite the Players. 

PS: there is no limit to the number of Players you can invite to a Project.

What happens after you’ve invited new Players

The invited (new) Player will receive 2 email notifications:

• Account activation - email is titled “Activate Account”
• Project invitation which contains the Project link and credentials to log in to their account - email is titled “You have been invited to play [Your Project Title]”

And here’s what the Players need to do after receiving those email notifications (in sequence):

1. Activate their account (before they are able to log in).
2. Go to the Project they are invited to - via the web, they can click on the Project link in the Project invitation email; via the Gametize app, they would need to launch the app.
3. Log in using the registered email address and the provided randomly generated unique password.
4. After logging in successfully for the first time, they will be prompted to change their password.

To help you in communicating the above with your Players, below is a draft announcement you can adopt.
