Guide
You can already move your data from ClickUp to Fibery with a couple of clicks - check our ClickUp integration guide for details. We also recommend checking the Fibery vs ClickUp article (we didn't hesitate to be harsh to ourselves, no worries) to better understand the differences.
But what will be the next steps? How to make it work if you think that staying in ClickUp is not an option anymore?
Here you will find a quick high-level overview.
1. Data overview 🙈
Here is how my super basic setup looks in ClickUp
As you see, it's super simple. I have only one Space, and just one Folder. And a couple of Tasks.
And here is how it looks in Fibery
List View
Space Configuration
The only question I have is - "Where are my Projects???"
The more complicated your structure in ClickUp is, the more questions you'll probably have… ("Where are my Features??", "Where are my Epics?", "Where are my Sprints, Bugs, Stories, and Releases???")
In ClickUp, data is stored and organized as a single Task database. This means that everything within ClickUp is treated as a Task or a Task property. While this approach is straightforward to get started with, it can become more complex and limiting as your data and workflows grow over time.
On the other hand, Fibery takes a different approach to data storage. In Fibery, the structure is built around a set of connected databases. This means that instead of having everything as a Task, you have the flexibility to create multiple databases that are interconnected and can represent different types of data and relationships.
This also affects Views . Keeping the ClickUp structure with no changes in Fibery won't work (good).
You'll struggle with setting multiple filters manually (instead of using Smart Folders for ex.) all the time. And will also face tons of limitations.
2. Set the structure ️🔨
Unfortunately (or luckily, not sure) you will have to set a correct structure in Fibery.
Create necessary databases, set relations, and later - views.
There is no magic wand that will create a correct structure in Fibery with a couple of clicks. Some time has to be spent to create. But as a result - Project will be a Project. Task will be a Task. Insight will be an Insight. Sprint will be a Sprint. Everything will be connected.
If you don't feel comfortable with that - we have a free concierge service to help you with that. Just contact us via chat or email.
For our case, we create two databases - Task and Project. And connect them with one-to-many relations.
No need to set fields, or anything else. Just Databases and relations.
3. Import data 🏃♀️
Unfortunately, Integration here won't help (that's a separate topic to discuss, but our convert is not that powerful at the moment)
So, we will use the power of Import from CSV
ClickUp lets you export your Workspace's data in a comma separated value (CSV) format.
We recommend importing all the data process by process - Space by Space, using ClickUp terms.
For example, first, migrate Project Management. Then - Software development, etc.
Because ClickUp's list can be a Project, or it can be Sprint, or something else. So distinguishing that on the CSV level will be the most effective way.
Let's test it.
And here is the reason why we needed to set a structure before the import. Our connect allows you to set ClickUp Task Properties (for example Project, Sprint, etc.) as a real connection.
And here is the result:
As you see, this import:
🔨 Automatically created necessary fields with the format (text, relation, date, etc.) that you've chosen
🏃♀️ Uploaded data
💅 Used Fibery relations power and structured the data in a correct way
4. Visualize it 🎨
Set as many fancy views, as you need. Discover power gained by relations, and appeared limitations.
No screenshots here. Just link to the Views guide.
At the moment migration process is pretty painful. We would try to deliver a better solution. If you want to share any feedback on that, or if you simply have some questions - we will be waiting for you in our chat.
