This import batch accounts feature is designed to streamline the process of adding multiple accounts to Ectype.&#x20;

* Available slots

### Step 1: Login to Ectype

### Step 2: Navigate to Account

Once logged in, navigate to the *Accounts* tab in your dashboard and select *Overview*.

### Step 3: Initiate the account import

On the Overview page, locate and click the *Import Accounts* button to begin the import process.
