Importing WBS Structure Data via CSV (Create / Update / Delete)
This guide explains how to import WBS categories (Phases, Deliverables, Tasks, and Milestones) using a CSV file.
The file format for importing standard ticket data is different. Please refer to [this page]. You can update multiple tickets at once using a CSV file. (A single file can handle creation, updates, and deletions.)
- Click [Tickets] > [List] in the side menu.

- Click the [...] (More) icon next to [Add New] in the top right corner, then select [CSV Import].

- Select [Common WBS Category] as the target category.

- In the CSV Import modal that appears, click the [Download Sample] button to get the template.

- Edit the CSV file according to the Data Validation Rules* below, then drag and drop it into the [Drag and drop files here] area.

- Once the CSV file verification is complete, click [Execute Import].

- Click [Yes] in the "Start Import" confirmation pop-up.

- You will receive a notification via the [
] icon in the header as soon as the import process is complete.

You can include custom fields for WBS tickets in your CSV import.
When tickets are imported via CSV, only the automatic progress rate calculation within the parent-child task structure is performed.
The following automatic updates are NOT performed:
-
Automatic updates to other items following a ticket status update (e.g., actual dates, progress rate).
-
Automatic status updates for parent/child tickets.
