Page Comparison

This tool is designed for importing candidate images (i.e., headshots) en masse into Flow. In preparation for using this tool, all the candidate headshots should be placed into a single folder. The tool uses the headshot name to search for matching candidates that are available in the Flow database and then assigned the images as matches are found.

Headshot filename format

The filename format is composed of 3 sections with each section separated by an underscore character ( _ ):

1. Last name(s) - all last name components should be in uppercase letters. If there is more than one word for the last name, the space should be replaced with an underscore character ( _ ), e.g., LASTNAME1_LASTNAME2.
2. First name(s) - all first name components should be such that the first letter of each name component is in uppercase and subsequent letters in lowercase. If there is more than a single first name, the names should be concatenated with the underscore character ( _ ), e.g., Firstname1_Firstname2.
3. Party code - this should be comprised of a single word with all uppercase letters, e.g., PC, LIB.

Examples:

• LASTNAME_Firstname_PARTY - e.g., TRUDEAU_Justin_LIB
• LASTNAME1_LASTNAME2_Firstname_PARTY - e.g., VAN_DER_VEEN_Jessica_NDP
• LASTNAME_Firstname1_Firstname2_PARTY - e.g., LEBLANC_Paul_Emile_PC

Note that hyphenated names are treated as a single word by the tool. For example, 'GOODWIN-CLAIRMONT_Vanessa_GRN' indicates that the candidate's last name is: 'Goodwin-Clairmont' and the first name is 'Vanessa'. The same goes for first names. For example, 'ZHANG_Regan-Heng_GRN' indicates that the candidate's last name is 'Zhang' and the first name is 'Regan-Heng'.
