Hi!!!

First of all, thank you very much for your input, people, it's great to feel supported!

I knew bulk upload from users, but our main problem actually is how to set all info up (and not only users), I mean:
- classes
- users
- relationship between users and classes
- comunities
- relationship between users and comunities
- calendar
and so on...

So, I was wondering if there were some application to upload data previous to the production state, maybe something that read preformatted data (XML, CVS or whatever) and place it in the correct field

or if you don't know or it doesn't exist

what is your way to procced with this issue? Maybe you are acting directly with the database or you programmed a special module for it. I looked to the database design not long ago but I was completely overwhelmed.

Thank you in advance!!

PS: we are using for our backoffice SQL Server and our data doesn't follow any spec, I'm afraid
