People can be imported into the system from a tab-delimited CSV file. This can be achieved by clicking 'Add person', and then selecting the 'Import from file' link at the top right of the screen.
Once a file is selected, click 'Import people' to upload the file into the system and start the import process.
The file should include a header line as the first 'row', with each of the columns named appropriately.
Following this should be a list of people to be imported, with one line per person.
