Exchange school data with Microsoft Office and Google Docs

Prime Timetable makes it easy to exchange school data with other software, whether you need to import or export. In both cases exchanging data reduces needless retyping.

How to import school data from Microsoft Office and Google Docs?

Whenever you open an empty timetable the owl will remind you about all importing options, so you don’t have to remember them.

Typically, you would want to import, e.g. list of teachers already entered in Microsoft Excel or Word or Google Docs. Make a selection, copy (Ctrl + C) and paste it (Ctrl + V) into the proper (teacher’s) data grid in the Prime Timetable. Our software will smartly recognize the format and do the parsing and importing for you.

If your data is stored in CSV (comma separated value) file, just drag that file from your desktop directly into the data grid and that’s it. Again, the software will recognize the format and import all data.

Copy and paste works across all data grids in our software, which means you can copy rows from one timetable and paste them into another one.

How to export school data to Microsoft Office and Google Docs?

You can export any data from Prime Timetable into Microsoft Office and Google Docs. Just select the desired data grid rows, copy (Ctrl + C) and paste them (Ctrl + V) into e.g. Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Word. Data grid header will also be included as displayed in the screenshot below.
