Tips and best practices for a smooth import

To help your import run smoothly:

• Check email addresses to make sure tasks are assigned to the right users

• Create custom fields in advance so you can map Monday columns directly

• Set up project templates and project types in advance if you want to select them during the import

• Set up statuses in a project template, otherwise they won't be imported correctly

• Keep comment ownership in mind, because imported comments are assigned to the person performing the import
