Creating users for staff

Obtaining an XML file of staff details

To import staff into Cura, you will need the staff members' details in an xml file.

If you have SIMS

If you use the SIMS database, then you can download this report format: SIMS staff report.

You will need to import this report into SIMS, then run it. Once you have run the report, you will need to give it a name and format. Choose any name you like, followed by

.staff.xml

So if you wanted to call your report "MyReport", you would name the report "MyReport.staff.xml". You will also need to choose a format - select XML.
