These settings are related with:

Field separator

+ Click here to know the details about this option!

You must choose the same columns separator like in imported file. Also make sure (!) you don`t have this separator in a column value. Let`s say you have the following file for import:

name,username,email
Bradley,Jones,bjones,brad@example.com

You can see in the example above that the first name is separated with the last name through `,`(comma), so you shouldn`t use this separator. You should use instead another separator such as `;`(semi-colon):

name;username;email
Bradley,Jones;bjones;brad@example.com

Here `;` is the separator and you can use `,` in the column values without a problem.

Given passwords are already encrypted

+ IMPORTANT: No emails will be sent to users. Click here to know the detail about this option!

If in your import file you have the `password` column in your file header and for each user you have that password already encrypted you must set option to `Yes` and the system DOESN`T SEND emails to that users, because users do not need to know the encrypted password. But if you doesn`t import the `password` column OR if the `password` column is not encrypted YOU MUST to set this option to `No` and in this case the system sends emails to the imported users if the option `Send emails to new users (that don`t exist in the database) after import` from `Email Settings` from the email tab is checked.

Generate new password if none set

+ Click here to know the detail about this option!

If you have users in the import file that don`t have a value for the `password` column then you must to set this option to `Yes` to generate new passwords. That password will be sent by email to the new users if you have set `Given passwords are already encrypted` to `NO` AND if you`ve entered the default value for the `Insert default password if none set` text.
