  1. Go to ConsoleAttendanceRosters, choose the site and open Import.

  2. Under Start from a template, download Shifts or People on patterns, and fill it in.
  3. Select Choose a file, or drop the CSV file onto the page, then Check the rows.
  4. Read What would come in: the good rows, the problems and the warnings. Fix the file and check again if you need to.
  5. Select the import button below the rows, such as Import 24 shifts as drafts, then publish from Planner.

Good to Know

  • Name people by their email or employee number. A row with no one named makes an open shift.
  • With a template named, its times are used when start and end are blank. New times with no template make one.
  • Nothing is imported until you say so.

If Something Goes Wrong

  • A row isn't recognised. The email or employee number doesn't match anyone at this site. Check it in People.
  • The file is too big. Split it and import it in parts.
  • You don't see Import. Importing needs the right to manage attendance at the site.
