How to import rate card line items to your projects?

Updated over 2 months ago

Here is the procedure to import rate card line items to your projects in Furious:

• Go to menu > configuration tab > import:

• Click on the “new import” button

• Select the "Business" category

• Choose the import type “Project Rate Card

• Download the template by clicking the download icon on the right next to the orange block.

Once the template is downloaded, we recommend using Google Spreadsheet to fill in the file. When it's completed, you can export it as a CSV from Google Spreadsheet: File -> Download -> CSV

However, you can also open it with other tools (Excel / Numbers…). Depending on the software version, the column interpretation may display a difficult-to-read format.

You just have to upload the document to finalize the import. Once the rate cards are imported, you will find them within your projects.
