Choose Default Profiles and Invite Packs for CSV Rows
QCFUM’s Import screen lets you choose a default User Type Profile for Direct Create rows and a default Invite Pack for Invite Link rows. Optional per-row profile and invite_pack values can select a different target.
Use exact, currently published titles whenever possible. QCFUM 2.0.4 has an important fallback behavior: an unrecognized text title falls back to the selected default instead of automatically making the row invalid.
Set the Defaults
- Open the unified Import tab.
- Choose a Default User Type Profile for Direct Create rows.
- Choose a Default Invite Pack for Invite rows.
- Preview a small CSV and expand each row to verify the intended target.
How Per-Row Values Resolve
| Row value | 2.0.4 behavior |
|---|---|
Blank profile | Uses the selected default Profile. |
| Exact Profile title | Case-insensitive title match against currently loadable Profiles. |
| Numeric Profile value | Treated as a Profile database ID; later availability checks still apply. |
| Unknown Profile title | Falls back to the selected default Profile. |
Blank invite_pack | Uses the selected default Invite Pack. |
| Exact Invite Pack title | Case-insensitive title match against currently loadable Packs. |
| Numeric Invite Pack value | Treated as a Pack database ID; later availability checks still apply. |
| Unknown Invite Pack title | Falls back to the selected default Invite Pack. |
Important Preview Warning
The Preview row can display the text requested in the CSV as its target label even when an unknown text title has resolved back to the selected default. For that reason, do not treat a displayed CSV title alone as proof that QCFUM resolved that exact record.
Safer Practice
- Prefer friendly exact titles rather than internal numeric IDs.
- Keep Profile and Pack titles unique and stable for CSV operations.
- Preview a representative row for every distinct Profile/Pack value.
- If a title was recently renamed, update the CSV before commit rather than relying on fallback.
Commit Still Revalidates
Direct rows must load a usable Profile at processing time. Invite rows must pass the normal Invite Pack and linked-Profile checks. An unavailable numeric ID can therefore fail even if the CSV parsed successfully.
