Step 1

To import a schedule from a .csv file, you need to edit existing or create a new work schedule. If you don’t know how to add a new schedule, see this post.

Step 2

After entering the schedule, click on the Bulk add/remove hours button in the top right corner.

Step 3

Expand the dropdown menu and pick Add working hours with comments from CSV files.

Step 4

Select the .csv file from your computer and mark Execute.

File instructions

A properly prepared .csv file must be a comma separated file and contain the following columns:

  • ‘UserId’ is the user ID in the system;

  • ‘Login’ is the user’s login;

  • ‘IdNumber’ is the user’s reference number in the system

Note: At least one of these 3 values ​​must be indicated.

  • ‘TimeFrom’ is the date and time of starting work, e.g. 2020-06-01T08:00;

  • ‘TimeTo’ is the work end date in the format as above;

  • ‘BreakMinutes’ is the number of minutes of unpaid break during this period;

  • ‘Comment’

  • ‘CommentOnly’ is information whether the item contains only a comment. The values that may appear here are „true” or „false”.

If you want to use a registration number as an identifier, you must ensure that unique values ​​have been entered for all Employees.

Important: the file will be imported only if it’s error free. If error messages are returned, the file should be corrected and re-imported.
