The following article is intended for ADP Workforce Now clients who need to export MakeShift schedule and import into ADP Workforce Now.
Exporting Department Schedules
Select the Schedules link from the top navigation bar.
Choose your desired department by clicking the Name of the department.
Once you are viewing the week you would like to export, click Download Schedule in the bottom right corner.
A notification will appear, allowing you to choose which program to export your schedule to. Select ADP Schedule (Beta).
This will automatically download a .CSV file with your schedule content. *Note: Do not save the exported file in Excel as this will corrupt the format of this flat file. It is best to import the file into ADP directly from your Downloads folder without saving a new copy to your computer.
Importing into ADP Workforce Now
To import into ADP, log into Workforce Now at workforcenow.adp.com. You will need to have Practitioner or Limited Practitioner rights.
Select Process from the top navigation bar.
The following options will vary depending on your role within ADP Workforce Now. Select Utilities and choose Import.
