Imports
Bring work in from another tool: an Asana project, a Trello or monday.com board, or any spreadsheet becomes a project at one of your units, and a class you run can be brought in from Google Classroom or a spreadsheet.
Bring a project in from another tool
- Under From, choose Asana, Trello, monday.com or Any spreadsheet. The panel beside it says how to export the file from that tool.
- Choose the unit under Which of your units is this for? and press the button to continue.
- Upload the file as it downloaded, and press Continue to match fields.
- Check what each column is matched to, which values mean Urgent, High, Normal or Low, which statuses mean done, and who each person in the file is.
- Press Preview the import, read the counts and the warnings, then press Run the import.
Then: A new project at your unit, open to everybody there, with you as its owner and the matched people on it: its columns, tasks, dates, priorities, checklists and comments as the file had them. Nobody is told about the tasks it gives them, and no channel hears of it: people find their tasks in their own work.
Daniel exports the Spring launch project from Asana as CSV and imports it into Marketing: six sections become six columns, and nine people are matched by email. A freelance photographer has no account here, so their tasks come in given to nobody, with their name kept on each.
If somebody in the file was not matched
- In Match fields, find them under People.
- Choose who they are from the people you may give tasks to at that unit, or leave them.
Then: Anybody left unmatched has their tasks given to nobody, with their name kept on the task, so you can give the task out in the project afterwards.
Undo an import
- Find it under Past imports.
- Press Undo, or Undo this import on its Done step.
- Read what it removes, there in place, and press Undo the import, or Keep it.
Then: Everything the import made is removed, the project and all of it, with any change made to the imported tasks since.
Bring a class in
- Open the class and press its button to bring it in, or choose a class tool under From here.
- Choose the class under Which class?.
- Upload its files, match the columns, and run it as for a project.
Then: Its people, attendance and scores come into the class. The rows read from its files are kept for 7 days, so you can invite the people they name, then deleted.
Imports are offered to whoever runs projects at a unit, and a class's to whoever runs it. Past imports shows your own, and those at units where you could run them. On a phone the page offers to email you a link: matching columns and checking a preview need a computer.
