In this article you can find out how you can import employees via CSV.
It is possible to add all your employees to Shiftbase at once through an import. You can do this with a CSV file. You can also choose to add employees manually.
Import
Go to the Employees tab and click on the arrow next to the + Add employee button at the top right, then click on CSV user import.
From this screen you can download a sample CSV file. The first line of this file contains the field names that can be specified. The second line shows an example of a user as it can be recorded. Fill in the data as completely as possible to best capture the employees.
