If you are new to Projector, then you probably have an implementation consultant. Your implementation consultant can help you with data loading. If you are already an established Projector client, this page will teach you about what kinds of data can be bulk loaded. Perhaps you have been acquired, grown quickly, or rolled another part of your organization into Projector. This help page will help you get your data loaded quickly and correctly. Some of these choices are free and you can do yourself. Others are paid and require that you send us a spreadsheet of data to be added to the system. Labor is charged on a T&M basis. |
Time Cards
You can upload a csv file of time card data on a resource-by-resource basis through Time Card Import. That is to say, first you will load Jim's time cards. Then you will load Sally's time cards. These time cards then go through the normal approval and invoicing process and are treated like any other time card in Projector.
If you have many time cards for many resources you can load them as For Reporting Only (FRO) cards or as regular time cards. FRO time cards cannot be edited and are only used for reporting purposes.
