The below article is relating to the bulk upload - Timeoff which can be found by navigating to Administration -> Company -> Bulk Upload.
The Timeoff bulk upload is under the Time and Attendance section here:
Once you've clicked the Timeoff Bulk Upload button you will be directed to this page:
This page includes:
Employee Field
In the CSV the first column is called employee ID, this setting relates to what you enter in that column, For example if you have used the employee's names in the CSV the employee name option will need to be selected.
Include archived employees in search?
When using the name or Works ID method, sometimes you may have multiple instances of the same employee with one active and one archived - if you set this to NO we will not search archived employees when matching and will only search your active employees. If you had 2 active employees of the same name, for example, this setting would make no difference.
Perform time off dates synchronisation
When you bulk upload data, the background processes which run when adding time off will not run - these include things like splitting requests into individual days, absence cost, long term and so on. If you set this to YES, we will perform these processes for each line in the upload file but, please note, this will have a performance impact so you should keep your upload file to less than 1500 records to avoid any time out issues.
Create new types
If you wish the upload to create new types for any in the upload which do not already exist in the system, you should select YES.
Suppress notifications for duplicate entries
If you tick this box, you will not be shown individual error messages for duplicate records being found - this can be really useful if you are refining and correcting errors in an existing CSV upload.
CSV file to upload
This is where you will load your CSV when it is ready to upload. Press browse and select the CSV file.
Download help file and instructions
This option will download our bulk upload help file. This includes instructions on how to use each bulk upload and lets you know which columns are mandatory and which are optional, it's important to look at the relevant help file before performing a bulk upload so you can get it right the first time.
Download CSV Model
The second option downloads an example template for you to use for the bulk upload with all the headers needed for the bulk upload to be successful.
Editing your CSV:
