Replicon’s user mass edit feature is still useful in cases when you’re applying the same changes to a small group of users, when it may not be worth it to load and set up RIA.

Department and Resource Placeholder are listed as mandatory in the Add and Update templates for the following:
This is because, when setting up a project team, you can assign individual users, entire departments, or placeholders. Therefore, you must include at least one of these types of team member fields in any resource import. However, they are conditional fields since only one of the three types needs to be used in an import.
These fields can be used to help filter users. Refer to About the RIA data entry features for information on filtering data in RIA.
