How to format an .xlsx file for import (time_logs)

I have a java application that process timestamps for employees and outputs it into an .xlsx file. My problem is that I’m getting an error when importing that file:

Error: Data missing in table: Time Sheets
frappe.exceptions.MandatoryError: [Timesheet, TS-2019-00001]: time_logs

I have no idea how to format time_logs (after the ~ column) in the excel file. Somebody don’t mind teaching me how they work?

Fields:
-Series
-Employee
-Start Date
-End Date
-date_logs(don’t know how these work)

I had a similar problem with a import file. My solution:
Enter a record manually and export to .xlsx. And voila you have the fields used, their format and the content. Works not only for time sheets but else.
