Importing Staff Schedules

Instead of entering your staff members' schedules manually each time, you can import them by clicking the Import Schedule link on the custom hours interface. In this article, we will walk through the steps of importing staff schedules.

Things to Know:

• How to specify a day's schedule:
  • Specify a time range e.g., 9:30am - 5:00pm
  • Format the times in the time range e.g., HH:MM or H:MM
  • Use a "-" between the times with a space on either side
  • Add "am" or "pm" after each time
  • Enter split schedules with semicolon e.g., 9am - 12pm; 1pm - 4pm
  • Enter "OFF" to indicate the staff member has the day off
• You may simply leave it blank if you don't want to import the data for specific days.
