EzyTimer
← Back to EzyTimer Runsheet import

Turn the agenda into a timer lineup.

EzyTimer can start from a template, CSV, saved event file, or a readable PDF/DOCX runsheet. Import early, review the editable preview, then lock the show lineup before doors open.

CSV

CSV import

Best for clean schedules from spreadsheets. Use name, speaker, title, or item for the item name; duration as M:SS or minutes and seconds. EzyTimer validates rows, then lets you append or replace. Imports are capped at 500 rows.

Docs

PDF / DOCX runsheets

Best when a producer sends a document instead of a spreadsheet. Use text-based PDFs where text can be selected, or modern .docx files. Review the editable preview before importing. Scanned PDFs and legacy .doc files need re-exporting first.

Files

Event files & templates

Best for repeat events or show packs. Saved event files include agenda, timing settings, theme, messages, background, custom themes, and event logo. Finish sounds stay local; built-in templates are useful starting points.

Show-day import rule. Never import a brand-new runsheet five minutes before doors without checking it. Import during rehearsal, confirm the editable preview, run Show Ready, then enable Show lock once the lineup is approved.
