eAppoint requires that uploaded documents containing new and/or termination appointments follow a specific
format. Be sure to save your document as a comma-delimited text file, as eAppoint
will only accept and process comma-delimited text files. Your file is required to
have a specific file header that identifies the data fields and their required order.
The file header must be the following (on a single line):
ACTION_TYPE,AE_NUM,LICENSE_NUM,SSN_FEIN,TYCL,SUPERVISOR_LICENSE_NUM,EFFECTIVE_DT,BUSINESS_LOCATION_COUNTY,APPOINTMENT_COUNTY,TERMINATION_REASON_CD,STATE_OR_COUNTY_CD
It may be easiest and most time efficient to cut and paste the above text into the
first line of your document.

After the file header, you will need to provide specific details for each appointment or termination.
A dataset for each appointment or termination must be created by specifying each appointment field
in the proper order, separating each item by using a comma. A line break at the
end of each dataset will separate one dataset from the next. If an appointment or termination field
is not required, you will still need to use the appropriate number of commas as
a space holder. Below is an example of two appointment and three terminations data sets separated by a
line break:
N,1111,A123456,23333,0220,,01/01/2003,01,,,
T,3333,A777777,29999,0214,,01/01/2003,01,,MOFL,S
T,1111,A555555,23333,0214,,01/01/2003,01,,MOFL,S
N,2222,A333333,34444,0920,,01/01/2003,,01,,
T,4444,A989898,35444,0814,,01/01/2003,,01,NLRC,C
If your file includes a state appointment and county appointment(s) for the same
individual licensee and TYCL, then the state appointment dataset must precede the
county appointment datasets.
Please remember that terminating a Licensee's State Appointment for an Appointing Entity will also cancel any associated County Appointments.
