Your data comes with you

Switching in three steps

1. 1

   Atdeinem bisherigen Programm export

   • Almost every program hands out hours, absences and personal data as CSV or Excel, usually under reports or analytics
   • Every comparison page states the documented route for that particular provider, with a source and a retrieval date
2. 2

   Load the template and map the columns

   The template comes as Excel and as CSV, with a second sheet that states for every column whether it is required, its format, an example and the permitted values. If your file's header row matches, the mapping falls away entirely. Otherwise the assistant proposes the mapping and marks everything that did not match word for word.

3. 3

   Check, then take it over

   The dry run is mandatory and writes nothing. It shows for every row whether it will be created, changed, skipped or rejected, naming the column and the value behind the finding. Only the second click takes it over, in one transaction. The default is "create new ones only", and an empty cell never changes a value that has been maintained.

An import cannot be undone, which is why the dry run is mandatory and cannot be skipped. The default is "create new ones only", so a second round of the same file is rejected rather than creating duplicates. And not a single invitation email goes out: imported people appear as "not yet invited" in the list, and you decide about inviting them afterwards.
