Rough Design feedback

So, the user uploads a file, then downloads it. The whole thing can and should be done with one page. Not much need for a webapp. In fact, the youtube upload page is all you need:

But, as we discussed in the meeting, that is not enough functionality for this class. Your client is satisfied with the 1 simple feature. Good. But you need to add more. We discussed building this app for many clients. Some of the problems you have to solve for that to work:

1. How do you communicate to the user the specific format that the spreadsheet has to be in? Your app will not work unless the spreadsheet meets some very specific requirements. How do you force the users to comply? Obviously, simply telling them in a big text page is the worst possible way of doing it. What are better ways?
2. How do you allow flexibility in schedule creation? Some people might want to schedule Capstone teams (5 students, 1 prof in common with all), others might want to schedule shifts at the coffeeshop (3 people on at all times during the day, 2 at night, 6 hour shifts), etc. This will impact the previous point.
3. Other way to import preferences? say by importing people's calendars? Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple Calendar, etc. allow users to export/share calendars. People already keep all their events in their calendar. Can you use it?

Alternatively, find your own ways to add some functionality to a scheduling webapp.
