Import Template Details

There are two import formats available — Excel and CSV. The Excel file has multiple tabs (one for each type of data) while the CSV file has multiple files (one for each type of data).

People
You can import People by providing the following data:

  • First and last name

People Without Email
If your employees do not have email addresses, Time IQ will assign them a username to log in with. In order to do this, you must provide an initial password for your these people. For people without email, the following data is required:

You can import as many clients and projects to Time IQ as you like. For each project imported, you must include:

Service Tracking is an optional feature of Time IQ. If you plan to use Service Tracking, we can also import your services for you to save you some time. For each service you want to import you must provide:

  • Service category name
  • Service name
