+<WRAP center round important 60%>

+</WRAP>
+<WRAP center round info 60%>

+You may import a list of prescribers who have the authority to prescribe medicines.
+Your list should be in the format of a 6-column spreadsheet, saved as a tab delimited file. The columns should be in the following order:
+^ Column number ^ Column letter ^ Contents ^ Unique code for each prescriber ^
+| 1 | A | Code | Unique code for each prescriber |
+| 2 | B | Last name | The presciber's last name |
+| 3 | C | First name | The presciber's first name |
+| 4 | D | Initials | The prescriber's initials. These will appear on patient labels |
+| 5 | E | Registration code | The prescriber's registration code |
+| 6 | F | Category | The category the presciber belongs to |
+Your tab delimited spreadsheet file would appear something like this:

+If the file you are importing has non-English characters (for example, accents), it is important to make sure the file is saved with a UTF-8 charset. You can check this by opening the file in Notepad (for Windows). When you save the file, you can choose the Charset used, as shown in the image below.

+Choose import options from the preview window and click **OK** to begin import.

+<WRAP info center round 60%>
+If there are non-printable characters before or after the first name, last name or code they will be removed. Any non-printable characters in the first name, last name or code will be replaced with an underscore (<wrap em>_</wrap>).
