Employee Imports
Use this option to import
employee profiles into the TimeForce database from an Excel spreadsheet.
Click on the main Admin
navigation tab, and then on the Imports
link located under the System Tools
section of the screen. The main “Imports” screen opens. Click on the Import Employees link.
File Layouts
The data file must be formatted
correctly in order to be imported by the TimeForce system. This file format
changes based on the customizations you have performed to the program
database (such as changes made in “Edit Tables,” etc.).
The file format that is
displayed on the right-hand side of the main “Employee Imports” screen
is pulled directly from your program database, and will always be correct.
Downloading a Template
To download a blank Excel
spreadsheet that is formatted correctly based on your program database,
click on the Download Excel Template
link located above the displayed file layout. In the File
Download box that appears, click on [SAVE] and browse to the location
where you would like the template to be saved. You can then open the template
file and enter your employee information directly into this spreadsheet
file.
Importing Employee Profiles
From
the main “Employee Imports” screen, click on the [BROWSE] icon located
to the right of the Select a file to
import field. Browse
to the location where the desired import file is stored. Either double-click
on the file to select it, or highlight the file and click on the [OPEN]
icon. The selected path and file name are displayed in the Select
a file to import field. Click on the [IMPORT] icon
to import the data from the spreadsheet file. |
