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. The filename format is composed of 3 sections with each section separated by an underscore character ( _ ): - Last name(s) - all last name components should be in Uppercase uppercase letters. If there ismore is more than one word for the last name, the space should be replaced with an underscore character ( _ ), e.g., LAST1LASTNAME1_LAST2LASTNAME2.
- First name(s) - all first name components should be such that the first letter of each name component be is in uppercase and subsequent letters be in lowercase. If there is more than a single first name, the names should be concatenated with the underscore character ( _ ), e.g., First1Firstname1_First2Firstname2.
- Party code - this should be comprised of a single word with all uppercase letters in uppercase form, e.g., PC, LIB.

Elector Content Groups
Users can be assigned to a content group. Content groups are used to provide group specific content to users who need it. For exmple this is used with the Watchlist groups.
Watchlist groups can be assigned to a content group. If a user is also assigned to that content group they will see the group and its watchlists. This reduces the clutter for a user allowing them to focus on the content important to them.

- 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'.

Take a closer look at the log file that is generated by the tool. Most likely there will be some unmatched headshot images after the tool is ran, particularly on the initial runs. The tool tries its best to match the candidate names and party information parsed from the filenames against the information in the Flow database. The most likely cause of these mismatches will be that the candidate names in the Flow database do not match exactly the name parsed from the headshot files. The simplest way to solve this issue is to modify the mismatching filenames such that the candidate names match exactly and then re-run the tool again. Alternatively, If there are less than a handful of unmatched headshots left, you can opt to use the Flow interface to assign the headshot images to the candidates manually. |
