The Edge Import tool is specifically designed to facilitate the upload of new hire data in a way that ensures compatibility and data integrity. For this tool, the accepted file types are Excel, CSV, and Text files.
Excel files allow for structured data input, making it easier for organizations to organize complex information about new hires, such as their personal details, job roles, and other relevant information in a formatted way. CSV files, which stand for Comma-Separated Values, are widely used for data transfer because they are easy to create and can be opened by a wide range of software, including spreadsheet applications. Text files offer a versatile format that can also be utilized for data uploads, accommodating simpler structures or row-based data.
While other options may mention file types that are common in many contexts, such as PDF, they do not align with the specific formats recognized by the Edge Import tool for uploading new hires. PDFs are generally not used for data import processes as they do not maintain a simple structure suitable for bulk data processing. Therefore, the correct choice reflects the formats that are essential for the proper functioning of the Edge Import tool.
