Import from Zoho Projects

If you're a user of Zoho Projects and you have projects that need to be managed in agile scrum method, you can easily transfer data to Zoho Sprints. It supports an easy import mechanism for data in Zoho Projects.

Before importing, you need to know the following:
  1. The workspace owner in Sprints must also be the Portal Owner in Zoho Projects to import projects.
  2. You can import up to 50 projects at a time.
  3. You can process a single import at a time.

Notes
  1. If the project user is not added to Zoho Sprints, and if the respective project is imported to Zoho Sprints, the work item will be in unassigned category. 
  2. When an import of 5 projects is initiated, and due to some reason the third project fails to import, the following projects to be imported will also fail. Once the issue is resolved, you can reinitiate the import process for the failed ones.

Import custom fields 

  1. Create a layout for the work item with the custom fields available in Zoho Projects for the data to be mapped correctly.
  2. The system auto-populates the data in custom fields in Zoho Sprints with the equivalent custom field in Zoho Projects in the field mapping screen.
  3. The picklist options of both Zoho Projects and Zoho Sprints should be the same to avoid data mismatch. For example, if a picklist field in Zoho Projects has options A, B, and C, the same picklist options must be available in the mapped Zoho Sprints picklist field.
