Batch Import Utility for Catalogs and Inventory<\/div>\n
October 18, 2026<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
You can now import purchasing items, product items, and stock in stages. Stride checks each row and shows which ones are ready and which need fixing. You can import the ready rows without uploading the whole file again.<\/div>\n
How to use it:<\/strong> Download the template for the type of import you need and keep its column headings unchanged. Upload the completed CSV, review the results, fix any issues, then choose Import ready rows<\/strong>. When uploading corrections, include only the rows that still need fixing.<\/div>\n

Reusable Links for HR Forms<\/div>\n
October 21, 2026<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
Published HR forms can now be shared using one link that can be reused, instead of sending a separate link to each employee. You can decide whether people must sign in, use a one-time code, or respond without signing in. You can also set an expiry date and limit the number of responses.<\/div>\n
How to use it:<\/strong> Create or open a form and choose the reusable-link option. Set who can respond and any expiry date or response limit, then publish it. Use Recipients & Reusable Links<\/strong> to copy or cancel a link. Use anonymous links only for low-risk questions and always set a response limit.<\/div>\n

Finance teams can now import bank statements in CSV, Excel, OFX, QFX, or QIF format. Stride previews the columns, suggests how to code transactions, and checks for duplicates. You can review, split, skip, accept, or retry transactions. Accepted rows can create invoices, vendor bills, and payment records without changing existing bank reconciliations.<\/div>\n
How to use it:<\/strong> Choose the bank account and upload the statement. Check the column matches, then review each suggested transaction. Add any missing details and approve, split, or skip each row before importing. You can return to saved imports later and retry records that failed to create.<\/div>\n

If an employee is missing an entitlement, an authorized user can create it and check the assignment again.<\/div>\n
