Importing Schedules

To facilitate your scheduling setup, you can add schedules in bulk by importing them on a CSV file.

If you need to import multiple shifts all at once, you can use our formatted CSV template to copy your schedule information into and then upload it to your Timeero account.

1. On the Scheduling page of the web portal click the Import Schedule button in the top-right.
2. Download the template and open it in a spreadsheet editor.
3. When adding information, it is easiest if you do not reformat or rename the columns. 
4. Once you have finished filling out what you need, go back to the web portal and click the Upload CSV button. 
5. Match your CSV columns with the correlating fields in Timeero. You can click the Map Common Fields button to match columns that the exact same name, otherwise pick the corresponding column label from the drop down menu.
