Supported characters for bulk import

Last Updated : Jun 10, 2026 |

In the bulk import file, you can use the majority of special characters as is. The following are the exceptions:

  • To use a semicolon (;), enclose the entire attribute containing a semicolon with quotation marks.

    For example, if you have a group with the name SEMICOLON;GROUP, use the following: GROUP;"SEMICOLON;GROUP";PARAMETER_NAME;parameter_value

  • To use a backslash (\), prepend it with three backslash characters as follows: \\\\

    For example, if you have a group with the name BACKSLASH\, use the following: GROUP;BACKSLASH\\\\;PARAMETER_NAME;parameter_value

  • To use quotation marks ("), prepend them with a backslash character as follows: \"

    For example, if you have a group with the name QUOTATION_MARKS", use the following: GROUP;QUOTATION_MARKS\";PARAMETER_NAME;parameter_value

  • Use the pound sign (#) as follows: #

    For example, if you have a group with the name GROUP_WITH_NUMBER_SIGN#, use the following:

    GROUP;GROUP_WITH_NUMBER_SIGN#;PARAMETER_NAME;parameter_value
