You can now import artifacts into TeamForge using the Excel/CSV tracker import function. Data from both Excel and CSV files can be imported.




- Click Trackers from the Project Home menu.
- Select a tracker from the TRACKERS tab.
- Click Import.
- Click CHOOSE FILE. Browse and select the Excel/CSV file that contains the artifacts to be imported.
Tip: You can select the SAVE IMPORT FILE AS DOCUMENT check box if you want to have the imported Excel/CSV file stored in DOCUMENTS for future use.
- Click Import.
Limitations
It’s worth considering the following points while importing artifacts from Excel/CSV files:
- The Excel/CSV tracker import function allows importing data for any existing tracker fields even if the fields are disabled in the tracker.
- The Import button is not being localized on Chinese and Korean locales.
- The import instructions on the Import Artifacts page is not being localized on Chinese, Japanese and Korean locales.
- The Estimated Effort, Actual Effort, Remaining Effort, and Points fields can take “0” or any positive integer as values.
- Leave the “Comment text” field empty in the Excel/CSV files if you intent to create new artifacts.
- While it is expected that the “Priority” for an artifact can range from 0 to 5, the Excel/CSV import function allows any value for the “Priority” field to be imported. Make sure your Excel/CSV input file consists of “Priority” values ranging from 0 and 5.
