Import Schedule

Follow these steps:
1. Go to Auto-Schedule.
2. In the top right corner, click on the CSV icon.
3. Select Import Schedule.

4. Once you fill out the Schedule Import Template, upload the CSV file to Tymeshift.
5. Click the “Apply and replace schedule” button to publish!

Note: There will be 2 files to download that will help you: The "Schedule Import Template" is the one you’ll have to fill out to upload in Tymeshift. The "Task Field Keys" will have the IDs for all your Workstreams, General Tasks, and Time Off Reasons.

Important: If there is an error in your template, it will return a message indicating what you need to correct. 

Some points to keep in mind when importing schedules:

• Time offs that are imported will not be overwritten during schedule import and can result in 2 or more layers of times offs in the same period. 
• All shifts will be overwritten if they start on the same day UTC. 
• If there are overlaps due to overnight shifts, the imports does not delete the previous day schedule but will create overlaps.
• When filling out the Import template, please make sure the agents name and emails matches exactly in Tymeshift (Please note that the fields are case-sensitive. Therefore, please make sure to include any upper or lower case letters). An easy way to do this would be to export a list of your tymeshift agents from the Agent Permissions and using that as a base.
