Bulk Upload

Bulk Upload lets you create many Subjects, tickets, and sub-tasks at once using an Excel-style paste grid — ideal for standing up a plan you've drafted in a spreadsheet. Open it at Settings → Bulk Upload.

Templates

Pick a target project, then a template that matches how your spreadsheet is laid out. The template decides which columns the grid shows and how rows nest.

TemplateLayout
Subject + TaskOne row per Task — Subject (Milestone) then Task (Activity), with planned dates and hours
Subject + Type + NameSubject, a Type (Task / Sub-task), and the item name. Sub-tasks attach to the Task above them
Type + NameA Type (Subject / Task / Sub-task) and the item name. Each row nests under the one above it
TreeOutline layout with separate Subject, Task, and Sub-task columns. Leave a cell blank to inherit from the row above

Every template also carries planned start, end, and hours columns.

Type values are matched forgivingly — case and hyphens don't matter, and "Milestone" is accepted as a synonym for "Subject".

:::info Consulting & Dev projects only Bulk upload targets Consulting and Dev projects (which use the P1/P2/P3 priority set). It is not available for Support or Epic projects. :::

The hierarchy you create

Subject
└─ Task (ticket)
└─ Sub-task

You paste rows for each level:

LevelFields
SubjectName, description
TaskTitle, description, priority (P1–P3), planned start/end, estimate hours
Sub-taskTitle, description, priority

:::note Subject dates are derived You don't set a Subject's start/end directly in bulk mode — the server derives a Subject's window from the earliest start and latest end of its tasks. The usual "start date required / must be in the future" rules are relaxed for bulk entry. :::

How to use it

  1. Choose the target Consulting/Dev project.
  2. Paste or type your rows into the grid (you can paste directly from Excel/Sheets).
  3. Review the parsed structure.
  4. Submit — everything is created in one operation.

Who can use it

Bulk upload creates Subjects, so it requires the subject-creation permission — by default the Lead role of a Consulting/Dev project. See Roles & Permissions.

Limits

Reasonable per-request caps apply (subjects, tasks per subject, and sub-tasks per task) to keep a single upload manageable.
