# Bulk Add Payout Groups to a Template Term

If you know which payout groups you want to create, you can bulk upload them to the template term.

1. From the left navigation bar, select ![](/files/CDnwOBeIdds9r3Z6zTnO) **\[Engage] → Contracts → Template Terms**.
2. Select **Create Template Term**.
3. From the *Event Type* ![](/files/jA6jLZ1RleK5VI2zmvap) **\[Drop-down menu]**, select the **Event Type** this template term will be for.
4. To bulk add *Payout Groups*, select ![](/files/OoA2qxPalfCYKZvmxuU6) **\[Toggle on]** **Set up customized payout groups** → **Import**.

   * Upload a .XLS, .XLSX, or .CSV file.

     <div data-gb-custom-block data-tag="hint" data-style="info" class="hint hint-info"><p><strong>Note:</strong> The maximum number of payout groups you can upload at once is 4,000. If your file exceeds this, you’ll need to split it across multiple uploads.</p></div>
   * See the [Payout Group File Format](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1EMKTJr24qSHVtFzPkBpWg_wFF7IK94VGCkdyi3vyHCU/edit?usp=sharing) for accepted values and an example file on sheet 2.
   * If you have multiple payout rules, you can drag them around to change their rank after you upload them.
   * To set multiple rules in one rank, put each rule in square brackets ( `[]` ) and connect them with `AND`, as seen below:

     <div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/AS3roF79S0bw7J1pptCJ" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

   <div data-gb-custom-block data-tag="hint" data-style="warning" class="hint hint-warning"><p><strong>Important:</strong> The file format you submit must include the column headers <em>Payout Type</em>, <em>Payout Value</em>, <em>Rules</em>, and <em>Bonus</em>. If one or more of these headers don't match exactly, the submission will result in an error.</p></div>
5. Continue creating your template term.
