Can task lists be imported?

The import creates a new finalized school task list, links it to a program, and builds units and tasks from your CSV file.

The Basics

Your file must be saved as a CSV (.csv) file. You can create one in Excel or Google Sheets, then save/export it as CSV. Click here to download a template!

Your file needs a header row as the first line (column labels). After that, each row represents either a unit or a task.

Once your file is ready, send it to us via Live Chat or Email it to support@jobready360.com. We’ll import it for you!

Two Types of Rows

Think of your task list like an outline: units are the main topics, and tasks fall underneath them.

	Unit Row	Task Row
Purpose	Names a category/unit	Defines a task inside a unit
Unit Code	Required	Required (same as its unit)
Task Code	Leave blank	Required (different from Unit Code)
Description	Unit name	Task description

Important: Always add the unit row first, then list its tasks below it. Every unit must have at least one task.

Column Reference

Columns must appear in this exact order:

Column #	Column Header	Required?	What to put here
1	Unit Code	Yes	A short code for the unit (e.g., A, B, UNIT1)
2	Task Code	For task rows only	A unique code for the task. Leave blank on unit rows.
3	Description	Yes	Name of the unit or task
4	Condition	No	Scoring condition. Leave blank to use the class default.
5	Criteria Type	No	`Percentage` or `Text`. Fill in only if overriding the class default.
6	Criteria	No	The scoring value (e.g., `80` or `Pass/Fail`). Fill in only with Criteria Type.
7	Weight	No	How much this task counts toward averages. Defaults to `1`.
8	Requirement	No	`Required`, `Optional`, or `Reserved`. Defaults to `Required`.
9	State Alignments	No	State task codes this task aligns to, separated by pipes (e.g., `001\|002`). Your class must have a CIP code set up for this to work.
10	Level Taught	No	Any notes about the level taught. Free text.
11	Other Alignments	No	Task codes from other school task lists, separated by pipes.

Example

Unit Code	Task Code	Description	Criteria Type	Criteria	Weight	Requirement
A		Safety and Equipment				Required
A	1	Identify common shop safety hazards	Percentage	100	1	Required
A	2	Demonstrate proper PPE use	Percentage	100	1	Required
B		Hand Tools				Required
B	1	Select appropriate hand tools	Text	Pass/Fail	1	Required
B	2	Maintain tools properly	Percentage	80	2	Optional

In this example, rows for A and B with no Task Code define the units. The remaining rows are tasks under those units.

Quick Tips

Column order matters. Even if your headers are labeled differently, the columns must be in the order listed above.
Define your unit before its tasks. If a unit row is missing, tasks under it won't import correctly.
Every unit needs at least one task, or the import will fail.
Only fill in Criteria Type and Criteria together. Filling in one but not the other won't override the class default.
Delete any extra blank rows at the bottom of your file before saving.
