# Upload multiple tasks

## Overview

The **Upload Multiple Tasks** function is a way to mass dispatch a single task. By uploading an Excel file that contains a list of users, you can dispatch a task form to them simultaneously. This is useful when you have the same type of task that you want to assign to multiple workers (perhaps at different locations). Instead of dispatching the task to each worker individually, you can use **Upload Multiple Tasks** to streamline the process.

## How to upload multiple tasks

1. Go to **Form Sharing** > **Dispatch/Tasks** in the Portal.
2. Select the green **+ New Task** button.
3. Select **Upload Multiple Tasks**.

- **Excel File:** Upload an Excel file with your task recipients and any merge data.
  - Make sure there are no empty rows between recipients, as processing will stop at the first empty row.
  - Select **Sample Excel File** for a template and an example of the format.
