Program Participants (Pulse)

About Pulse Program Participants

You can manage pulse program participants by going to Participants and sampling and staying in the Program participants section.

Adding Participants to a Pulse

We highly recommend using a participant import automation with your pulse. This feature regularly uploads participants from your employee directory to your program. Not only does that ensure all your employees receive the pulse, but that as new people are added to your company, they too will receive pulses.

The following is a list of pages covering other ways to add participants to a pulse.

• Automatically on a schedule (participants)
• Import from file
  Qtip: See also Preparing Your Participant File for Import. You can skip the sections about org hierarchies.
• Import from Global Directory
• Manually add participants

Bulk Actions

Bulk actions allow you to manage multiple participants at a time.

Pulses have the following bulk actions when you select participants:

• Remove selected participants: Removes all of the selected participants from the program list. See Removing Participants for all the ways to delete participants from a project. Note, removing participants from the program list does not remove them from pulse survey projects and therefore will not remove any responses from these participants within the pulse program.
• Export selected participants: Export a CSV containing first name, last name, unique identifier, and metadata for only the selected participants. See the next section for further details on various export options.

In addition, if you select no participants and click Bulk actions, you’ll get the following options:

• Export participants list: Exports all participants.
• Export filtered participants: Instead of exporting all the participants in your project at once, you can narrow down who should be included in the export by metadata. See Export filtered participants.
• Remove participants: Use a file to remove participants from the project. See Removing Participants for all the ways to delete participants from a project.
• Update unique IDs: Update the unique identifiers for any of the participants in your project. See Updating Multiple Employees’ Unique Identifiers.
