Import - export data

Your data is yours to keep and manage.
Ontime provides features to allow you to manage your project files, including exporting your data to use somewhere else.

Export / Import Ontime project files

Exporting project file

You can export and import project files from the project manager Editor -> Settings -> Manage projects. The project file is a JSON formatted file that includes your Rundown and all the application settings.

Importing project file

If you are sharing project files across users or projects, you can import a previous JSON formatted file in the project manager Editor -> Settings -> Manage projects.

Once a file is imported into Ontime, you can also use Partial Load to load only parts of another project into the currently loaded project.
This is a great way to create preset files that are reusable across your projects.

Export rundown data to consume elsewhere

You may not be consuming Ontime’s data in another Ontime instance.
In these cases, you would likely want to export just your Rundown since the other data is irrelevant outside the app.

Ontime allows exporting the Rundown of any project to CSV format so that it can be consumed by other software and integrated with spreadsheets.

Additionally, you can upload/download directly from a Google Sheet.

Import rundown data from spreadsheets

You can import your rundown from a spreadsheet (eg. XSLX from Excel, Numbers, or Google Sheet).
