Batch Import TasksSign-up Sheets WordPress Plugin Documentation

If you need to add a number of tasks at once, you can do this easily using an import plugin such as WP Ultimate CSV Importer (any import plugin should work as long as it can import custom meta fields into a custom post type).

Fields you will need in your File

To import tasks you will need a few required fields and any number of additional custom fields which are optional.

Required Fields

• Task Name: the post_title field on the task
• Sheet ID: the post_parent field on the task which tells the importer which sheet the task should be assigned
• Quantity: correlates with a custom meta field for how many spots are available called dlssus_qty

Optional Fields

• Sort Order: the order they will appears in the task list such as 1, 2, 3, etc and uses the custom meta field dlssus_sort
• Custom Fields: the field name will vary depending on how you set up your custom fields

Example Task Import

Below is an example of importing tasks into Sign-up Sheets Pro using WP Ultimate CSV Importer.

1. Create a CSV file with the fields you need like in this example task import CSV (also displayed below).
2. Import the CSV into the plugin and select to import as dlssus_task post type (some import plugins will refer to this as just “Tasks”.
3. Link up the columns in your CSV to the related WordPress fields as described in the previous section.
4. Import

Example CSV

task_name	sheet_id	task_qty	task_sort	task_comment
Sample Task	30092	13	2	Here is a test comment
Another	30092	4	3
Something Else	30092	2	4
