If you need to add projects in bulk or require changes to several existing projects, we recommend using the import tool.
The maximum number of records/projects is 10,000 per CSV file import. You can use the import option to set up and change existing project data.
Before completing a project import, please download and read the full Project Import Specification. You can also download a Project Import Template CSV file if required.
Prerequisites
1. If assigning approval flows to projects, please ensure all approval flows are created before importing the project's data.
General Rules
File must be .csv.
Column headers are required for data fields that need updating. Header names are space and case insensitive.
If the file does not contain the required data fields, the whole CSV file will be rejected.
If the file contains any extra headers not recognised, the whole CSV file will be rejected.
If an existing project is found with the same name, the existing project is updated.
If any data field on a record has an error, the record is skipped, and processing moves onto the next record.
