Field Mapping

Using this option to map the fields in your file to their corresponding fields in Sprints.
  1. Map the fields accordingly and click Continue . The Item name column is mandatory.
  2. Check the fields are correctly mapped and click Confirm .
  • Default fields and the None field are mapped to default values.
  • The maximum import limit is 1000. If your file exceeds this limit, all the remaining items in the file will be moved to the backlog.


The "Item ID" is the ID of the work item. A work item can have multiple levels of subitems. The "Parent ID" is used to map the relevant subitems to the main item.

User Mapping

Use this option to map users in your file to the corresponding users in your project. You can either leave the work items unassigned or assign them to specific users in your project. Once the fields are assigned, click Continue.  


Estimation Points Mapping

The estimation points mapping step is available if you have mapped the estimation points field.
You can leave points unassigned or map them to the estimation points in your project.
