Supported Parameters
The data import tool supports time entries with the following parameters or columns:
User email: the email address of the person who will be assigned to the project/task (e.g. admin@trackingtime.co). Leave the row empty for unassigned tasks, or write "everyone" to assign the task to the entire team.
Task name: Task that will be imported and it is associated with a project. (e.g. Task I)
Project name (mandatory field): The project that will be imported. (e.g. Project X)
Due date: task deadline (e.g. 15/08/2021)
Estimated time: # hours that the task is supposed to take. (e.g. 50)
Is billable: true or false.
Is Public (mandatory field): true or false.
Hourly rate: # value. (e.g. 15)
Client: projects can be associated to a client (e.g. ABC)
Service: projects can be associated to a service. (e.g. Consultancy)
📝 We'll look in your account for tasks, projects, clients, services and users specified in your CSV file. If they already exist, we'll associate the imported data to them. If not, we'll add them to your account and then associate the corresponding data.
💡 The following file includes the necessary columns in order to import your time entries: CSV.
Add extra project information
The Import projects page will have as mandatory columns Name and Is Public. If you have more project information you'd like to import to TrackingTime, such as rate, due date, estimated time, etc., then you'll need to create more columns.
The only way to add columns to the import page, is to create them as custom fields first. The import page will display as columns any custom fields that were previously created on a Project level.
