Import Project Assignment

Nov 05, 2019

Overview:

To streamline project allocation at scale, HRStop provides a bulk import feature for assigning projects to employees. This eliminates the need for repetitive manual assignments, especially useful for onboarding new hires or shifting teams across projects.


Navigation Path:

Control Panel → Timesheet → Click the dropdown beside Manage Project → Assign Project → Import


Step-by-Step Process:

1. Click on "Import"

Located at the top-right of the Assign Project page.

2. Download Sample CSV File

  • Click “Download Sample File” to get the exact format required by the system.
  • This file includes the necessary headers to ensure successful import.

3. Fill in the CSV File

Populate the sheet using the following fields:

Column NameDescriptionExample
EmployeeEmail ID or Unique Employee ID used in HRStopneha.singh@company.com
Project NameExact name of the project (must match existing project)Client_Onboarding
Billable/Non-BillableEnter Yes if billable, No if not
Yes / No

Ensure there are no typos in employee names or project names, as mismatches will cause import errors.

4. Upload the File

  • Click on “Choose File” to upload the filled-in CSV file.

5. Review the Data

  • HRStop will show a preview with validation checks.
  • If any entries fail, correct the CSV and re-upload.

6. Click “Import”

  • Once validation is successful, the system assigns the listed employees to the respective projects.
  • A success message will confirm the import.

Export for Review:

  • Use the Export option to get a report of all current assignments.
  • Recommended for cross-checking or generating documentation.

Best Practices:

  • Maintain a master spreadsheet to track project-employee assignments before import.
  • Use department-wise filters to export and modify only relevant mappings.
  • Always double-check project names and employee IDs/emails.
