Sync the Excel Macro with Rostering Schedule
In rostering, the work schedule of employees must be well maintained and updated. In Carbonate HR, we have featured an Excel Macro integration for a more efficient way of preparing the roster schedule. It will be synced with the Rostering module so that the team members will be able to view their updated schedules.
In essence, the synchronization feature allows the Manager or the Admin to prepare the schedule in a spreadsheet. Then, in a single click, the schedule will appear in the rostering.
Before doing so, the excel macro integration must be enabled from the Company Settings. Below is the user guide for your reference:
On the dashboard, go to the Rostering section.
At the top right corner of the page, go to the Import/Export and select the Export macro from the dropdown list.
On the Export data page, click the Download file.
Take note of the Secret key and copy it. You will need this on step 12.
Open the downloaded file.
The default set-up is generally the downloaded data that appears at the bottom part of the window. Then, you may just right-click it and select Open to automatically open the Excel file.
On the Excel file, click Enable Editing if the sheet is in protected view.
When a security warning appears, click the Enable content.
