Projector has the ability to import time cards from a third party system. The import is done on a per resource basis. You can visit our Time Card Import help page to learn what an import process looks like. This help page will explain you how to configure Projector to request data from a third party system to make data available for import. For example, your system might make available work minutes, project code, resource display name, task, and location available. All that data can then be imported to create time cards.

The import feature is a one time pull. Imports have no knowledge of previous imports. Therefore you could potentially import the same time cards over and over again. You should be careful on import to avoid duplicates.

To reach this form navigate to Administration Tab | Setup subsection | External Connectors. Add a new connector and set the Connector Type to Generic SOAP External Connector.
