eFOCUS Form Import Templates

Below are form layout templates for firms that use the import feature in eFOCUS to file their FOCUS filings.

Please note that the template headers, columns, and line item IDs provided should not be modified or removed, as this will impact the compatibility of the import templates in the system.

Additionally, fields adhere to certain input formatting, such as text fields, numeric fields, or checkbox fields. Therefore, inputting incompatible field formats into your import template, will result in an error (e.g., putting text into a numeric-only input field, and checkbox and radio button input fields both require an “X” input in the Excel templates).
