# Bulk Data Upload
Bulk upload supports large-scale data imports and updates across Zluri. It is used during onboarding, when synchronizing existing records, or when updating multiple entries at once. This capability helps maintain accurate and consistent identity, application, contract, and spend data across the platform.
## **Supported Entities**
Zluri supports CSV-based bulk upload for the following entities:
* **Users** – Import or update user attributes such as email, department, or job title
* **Applications** – Update fields such as application name, type, status, owner details
* **Contracts** – Load contract details like vendor, renewal dates, contract metadata
* **Spends** – Import historical transactions or update spend records
Each bulk upload path ensures that organizations can maintain accurate, up-to-date data across systems.
## **Structured Imports**
For every supported entity, Zluri provides a predefined CSV template to maintain consistency and prevent input errors.
Templates include standardized columns for:
* User attributes (email, role, department, custom fields)
* Application metadata (name, type, authorization state, owners)
* Contract details (start/end dates, vendor, amount)
* Spend and transaction records (amount, currency, date, vendor)
Structured templates reduce formatting errors and maintain uniformity across imported datasets.
## **Data Validation**
Zluri validates each CSV during upload. Validation checks include:
* Template headers match required column names
* Required fields are present
* Data types follow supported formats (dates, currency codes, numbers, email formats)
* Values conform to platform rules
Rows with issues are flagged, and error messages identify the specific columns and required fixes. The corrected CSV can then be reuploaded.
## **Bulk Update for Applications**
Bulk Update allows administrators to modify multiple **existing applications** at once from the **Applications** module.

## **Usage in Onboarding and Maintenance**
Bulk upload is typically used to:
* Load user or application lists during onboarding
* Import historical contract and spend data
* Correct discrepancies across identity or finance systems
* Populate metadata not available through integrations
* Update owner information in bulk (App Owner, IT Owner)
* Normalize fields such as authorization state or status
Once processed, imported records become available across:
* Dashboards
* Reports
* Exports
* Automation workflows
Bulk upload ensures consistent, accurate data and reduces manual update work across systems.
