Procedure Updated: 
Wednesday, November 6, 2024

Winshuttle is a data movement tool that enables OFM to upload data from Excel to HRMS through a pre-built Excel file. We call these Excel files Winshuttle scripts.   

Who can use Winshuttle?

HRMS users assigned the Personnel Administration Processor role, Payroll Processor role, or Organizational Management Processor role can contact OFM to request a Winshuttle upload to HRMS.

What is the Process for me to Request a Winshuttle Script Upload?

  1. Download the spreadsheet for the desired script.
  2. Save the spreadsheet with the following naming convention for the spreadsheet is required: agency code followed by the original Winshuttle spreadsheet name. File names should not contain spaces, rather an underscore to separate the title name. It is okay to put dates or unique identifier after the original spreadsheet name. Example: OFM_PA30_IT0001_Personnel_Subarea_Update-1_01152024.xlsx

Note: OFM does not validate your data before or after running the updates. Prior to sending in your request, verify the personnel numbers, position numbers, and organizational unit numbers belong to your agency on the effective date for the update.

  1. Send the completed spreadsheet to HeretoHelp@ofm.wa.gov outlining in the request:
    1. The reason for the mass updates.
    2. The approximate number of records.
    3. Your preferred upload goal date. OFM cannot guarantee same day processing.

After OFM completes the upload, they will send you the completed spreadsheet to validate. If there are errors, manual updates may be necessary.

If you do not see the Winshuttle Script you need, please follow the HRMS Standard Change Request process to request a new Winshuttle script creation.
