Import (Clients and Vendors) | Contact Import | Leads Import | Resources

Workamajig provides an on-screen import functionality to bring Contacts, Companies (Clients or Vendors), and Leads into the system. The process used for each of the areas is consistent. For your convenience, the column headers for each section are included below. It is not necessary to import every available field. We have provided the pre-formatted Excel files which include the key fields needed for the import.

Please review the Importing Overview and Process guide for further information.

NOTES:

• Just prior to your import, save the file as a *.CSV file. Do not open this CSV file as some fields, such as postal codes with a leading 0, may be changed by other programs, such as Excel.
• For new users of Workamajig, the order of data you import should be the following: 1) Clients, 2) Vendors, 3) Contacts, and 4) Leads.
• Also, if this is your initial entry of data, we recommend you do some cleanup of your data prior to importing, so you only bring over companies and contacts you currently do business with.
• For a list of Time Zone Codes, you can Download Time Zone Codes Here.
• We have some Import Templates with the basics (but not all available fields) in the header row, you can Download Import Template Files Here.
• If you have any questions regarding this topic, please contact your Workamajig Account Manager via support@workamajig.com.

Import (Clients and Vendors)

This area will include your Client and Vendor Company information. Though you can import your clients and vendors from the same file, many find it easier to separate them into 2 files.

Clients

You will need two client specific columns to import this data correctly:

• In the a header row, use the field called "Is a Billable Client". Each row thereafter will contain "Yes".
• In the a header row, use the field called "Client ID". Then, each row thereafter will contain a unique identifier for each client. This is usually company initials, or the first few letters of the company name.

Example

Company Name,Is a Billable Client,Client ID,
ACME INC.,Yes,ACME,

Vendors

You will need two vendor specific columns to import the data correctly:

• In the a header row, use the field called "Vendor". Then, each row thereafter will contain "Yes".
• In the a header row, use the field called "Vendor ID". Then, each row thereafter will contain a unique identifier for each vendor. This is usually company initials, or the first few letters of the company name.

Example

Company Name,Vendor ID,
ACME INC.,ACME,

Contact Import

Link to company on import

In order to link a contact to a company (Client or Vendor) record on import, your contact import file will need the following:

• In the a header row, use the fields called "Company Name" AND " Linked Company".
• Then, in each row for each contact, their two fields will have identical data.

Example

First Name,Last Name,Company Name,Linked Company,
John,Doe,ACME INC.,ACME INC.,

Leads Import

NOTE: There are no required fields for leads. All records will be under the Menu > Salesperson > Leads area only.
