Import a CSV File into Quire Permalink

You can organize your work data using a spreadsheet editor (such as Excel or Google Sheets) and then import it into Quire as a project.

Prepare Your CSV File for Import

What column formats does Quire support in CSV imports?

Quire only recognizes specific column headers in a CSV file. If the format does not match exactly, import errors may occur.

The supported column headers are:

• Name
• Assignee
• Tag
• Start
• Due
• Priority
• Status
• Description
• Parent
• ID

Important formatting rules:

• Column names must match exactly, with the first letter capitalized.
• Columns can be in any order.
• Any unsupported columns will be ignored during import.

What limitations should I know before importing a CSV into Quire?

During CSV import, Quire only recognizes existing data in your project.

• You cannot invite new assignees during import.
• You cannot create new tags during import.
• Only existing user IDs or email addresses and existing tags in the project will be recognized.

Import the CSV File into Quire

How do I import a CSV file into a Quire project?

Once your CSV file is ready, you can import it into either a new or existing project.

1. Save your spreadsheet as a CSV file.

2. Open Quire and navigate to the target project (or create a new one).
3. Choose the Import CSV option and upload your file.
4. Review where the tasks will be added—imported tasks are appended to the end of the project list.

Before clicking Paste, make sure:

• All required custom fields already exist in your Quire project.
• Column names and field formats match exactly between the CSV file and Quire.
• Task hierarchy (such as Parent and ID relationships) appears correctly.

If everything looks correct, click Paste.
