 +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  ^  Contents  ^  Unique code for each prescriber  ^ 
 +| A  | Code  | Unique code for each prescriber  | 
 +| B  | Last name  | The presciber's last name  | 
 +| C  | First name  | The presciber's first name  | 
 +| D  | Initials  | The prescriber's initials. These will appear on patient labels  | 
 +| E  | Registration code  | The prescriber's registration code  | 
 +| F  | Category  | The category the presciber belongs to  | 
 + 
 +Your tab delimited spreadsheet file would appear something like this: 
 + 
 +{{ :import_and_export:import_prescbr.png?500 }} 
 + 
 +<WRAP center round important 60%> 
 +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.
