Bulk import calendar entries into Filevine's Project Calendar

The Calendar Migrator allows you to bulk import appointment entries into Filevine's Project Calendar. It's designed to efficiently create multiple calendar entries at once, ensuring project timelines are accurate, complete, and up to date.

Understanding Filevine's Project Calendar

Before using the Calendar Migrator, it's helpful to understand how calendars work in Filevine:

  • Project-Specific Calendars — Each project has its own calendar displaying events and deadlines related to that case
  • Multiple Calendar Views — Calendars can be viewed in month, week, day, or list format
  • Event Types — Project calendars display manually created events, deadlines and deadline chains, and events synced from shared calendars (e.g., Google or Outlook)
  • User Visibility — Project events are visible to all users with access to the project. Assigned attendees also see events on their personal calendars
  • Understanding these behaviors helps ensure imported events appear as expected.

    Getting Started with Calendar Migrator

    Before creating calendar entries, make sure your data meets the following requirements:

  • Project ID — Each calendar entry must be linked to a project
  • Appointment Name — A title or description for the event
  • Attendees — At least one Filevine user must be assigned
  • How to Create Calendar Entries

  • Download the provided CSV template
  • Fill in the required fields:
  • Project ID
  • Appointment Name
  • Attendees
  • Indicate whether the event is All Day
  • For timed events (not All Day), provide start and end times
  • Upload the completed CSV
  • Review the entries and select Create Job
  • Pro Tips

  • Use the Date/Time Splitter tool to simplify formatting
  • Use the Timezone Normalizer to ensure consistent event timing
  • The Calendar Migrator currently supports creating entries only
  • Limitations

    Updating or deleting calendar entries is not yet supported through the Calendar Migrator and must be done manually in Filevine.

    Happy Migrating!
