Open a Names.txt file with a word processor just to see what a typical file looks like. It contains name, id, resistance limits,
certification expiration dates, and attendance records. However, the only fields required in the Names.txt file are in the first 3 fields-
LastName, FirstName, ID. Any missing fields after this will be filled in with default values. The first field (i.e. the first column in Excel)
is the Last Name field.
The second field (i.e. the 2
nd
column in Excel is the First Name field. The combined length of the first and last name field should be
less than 17 characters for best report formatting.
The third field (i.e. 3
rd
column in Excel) should be a combined workgroup-ID: badge number field. It should look like www-iiiiiiiiiii:bbbb
where www is the 3 character work group designator, iiiiii is the id code (12 char max.) , and bbbbbb is the badge code ( 12 char.
Max. ) Save the Excel file as a .csv (Comma Separated Values) file.
The other fields do not need to be filled in if the EsdTest default values are acceptable. Otherwise they may be filled in using Excel.

max, Field 6 – Foot min, Field 7 – Foot max, Field 8 – Wrist enabled (-1 = yes, 0 no), Field 9 – Foot enabled, Field 10 – Leave status,
