Within Teamwork, you can import projects from
Basecamp into your site using the Basecamp
importer.
You can import from Basecamp Classic (also
know as Basecamp 1), Basecamp 2, and Basecamp
3.
Click your profile icon in the bottom left corner of your site and
select Settings from the pop-out menu.
Note: Only owner company site administrators can access the site import settings.
In the Settings area, go to the Import tab where you will
see a section for Basecamp. Click the Import button to begin the
process.
When prompted, enter your Basecamp URL and
login details.
When you start the import, after you've added
your Basecamp address, your login details and
allow access, you can then choose what account
to use and what you'd like to import:
- All people, or just those users who are in
the projects you choose to import
- All projects, or skip some
- All items within the projects, or just
some
(tasks/notebooks/files/messages/events)
Note: Companies
are only created when
importing from Basecamp
Classic. Companies
are not imported from Basecamp
2 or
3. In
Basecamp 2 and 3, all users
will be added to the owner
company. If the there are no
standard user seats available,
then the user is added as a
collaborator.
Note: When importing
users, they will be added to your site but not
automatically sent an email invitation.
An invite will not be
sent out unless you manually
select the envelope/invite
option from the People area of
your Teamwork site after the
import.
Once completed you will receive an
email and a success pop-up.
If you have already imported a project from
Basecamp, you can choose to reimport the
project.
Options:
- Reimport - will overwrite the previous
import and any changes that you have made
since the initial import.
- Update - will import the project from
Basecamp, but the existing import will not
be overwritten. Changes you have made will
remain. Only new project items added in
Basecamp will be imported to the project
in Teamwork.
Note: Basecamp Classic cannot
update existing projects. If you select
"Import" and the project name already exists,
a new project will be created with a number
appending the project name. To reimport using
Basecamp Classic, first delete the project
from Teamwork before importing
again.
The activity on your projects in Basecamp
won't show up in your Home area activity
stream or in the Dashboard tab of each project.
You will only see changes made to the content
once you've imported it in these areas.
Note: In order to import Basecamp
projects to Teamwork, you will need to ensure
you have an active subscription on your
Basecamp account. The reason for this is
Basecamp is no longer allowing API access on
suspended accounts. Only the Basecamp 3
importer has the option to select files as an
option. When importing from Basecamp 1 or 2,
your files will be automatically included in
the import.
