General Information on Importing

For general information on importing data, refer to the following dedicated article that details how to import a file, supported formats, and other related information.

Import Layout

When creating your import file, you must:

Create Column Headers.
Match the order of the columns with the table provided below.
Match the number of columns with the table provided below.

If columns are added or removed, the import process file will stop and an error message will be shown, resulting in no records processed and an error logged in the import history.

When is a Record Added vs Updated?

If the row's Employee ID/SSN, Labor Class Code, and Labor Class Name match an existing record, then the existing record is updated. Otherwise, a new record will be created.

Column Header	Data Type	Max Field Length	Required	Notes
Employee SSN/Employee ID	Text	9	Yes	Must match an existing employee record.
Labor Class Code	Text	50	Yes	Must match an existing active Labor Class.
Labor Class Name	Text	200	Yes	Must match an existing active Labor Class Name.
Unassign	Text			"Y" or "N" values expected.
Primary Assignment	Text	3		"Y" or "Yes" are valid values. Only one labor class per employee may be assigned as Primary If an employee has an existing primary labor code and NO lines for that employee in the import file are assigned as primary, the existing code remains the primary. If an employee DOES NOT have an existing primary labor code and NO lines for that employee in the import file are assigned as primary, the first labor code for that employee in the import file is set as Primary. If two or more codes in the import file for the same employee are specified as Primary, the LAST one is set as Primary.
