Attendance - How To: Import Hours Worked (W) into Gradience Attendance

This feature allows you to import 'W' transactions (Worked Time) into the database.

--CAUTION!-- You must have entered your employees first. This will only import hours to existing employees. The worked time also will be posted into Gradience TimeClock if you use that software application in conjunction with Gradience Attendance and have Code Sharing turned on under the TimeClock tab in Global Settings.

Create an Excel Import File:

  • Column A is for the Employee SSN.
  • Column B is for the Date of the Import.
  • Column C is where you enter the amount of Hours Worked being imported.

1. Right-click on the letter A over the first column and select Column Width and enter 11.  

2. Repeat this process for column B, entering 10 for Column Width.

3. Repeat this process for column C, entering 5 for Column Width.

4. Right-click on column C and select Format Cells.  A pop-up window will appear.

5. For Category select Number. Set the Decimal Places to 2 and then click OK.

6. Click on File in the upper left and select Save As.    

7. In the Save In field at the top-left, browse to wherever you wish to save the file.

8. For Save As Type, click the down arrow, select Text (Tab Delimited) (*.txt) and click Save.
