How to import a schedule from Excel (CSV)
Table of Contents
Use a CSV file to bulk-import up to 150 scheduled shifts at once, rather than entering them manually.
Steps
- Go to SCHEDULING
- Click the settings icon
- Select IMPORT SCHEDULE FROM A CSV FILE
- Follow the on-screen prompts
File requirements
Your CSV must include the following four columns, in this exact order, with no header row:
| Column | Field | Format |
| 1 | Employee code | e.g. 001 |
| 2 | Department name | e.g. Cash |
| 3 | Shift start | MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS |
| 4 | Shift end | MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS |
Example row
001,Cash,01/05/2026 13:15:00,01/05/2026 21:15:00
Things to keep in mind
- Department names must match exactly what’s already set up in your account — including spacing and capitalization.
- Each import is limited to 150 schedules. For larger imports, split your file into multiple batches.
- Do not include a header row — the first row of your file should be real data.
