When importing information via a comma-separated value (CSV) file into the system, it may be important to confirm if the appropriate information has been imported, updated, or if any information resulted in any errors.

- Go to Manage and click Security Roles from the menu bar.
- Click the ExakTime Connect tab.
- Select the existing ExakTime Connect role or click Add Security Role.
While Administrators will already have this feature enabled by default, any security group can be given permission to review the import history.

Import History Screen
The import history screen can be found by clicking and clicking .
As Employees, Locations, and/or Cost Codes are imported with a CSV file, the import history will show you:
- Type: The type of entity to be imported
- Last Updated: When the import was done
- Complete: If the import has been completed
- Error: If there were errors during the import
- Inserts: How many new entities were created
- Updates: How many existing entities were updated
- Successes: How many successful inserts and updates there were
- Failures: How many failures there were
- Error File: If there were any errors, a document can be downloaded to show what could not be imported and why.
Use the date selector to review the import history from a specific date.
Error File
If an error file was attached, you can click the paper icon to download and review the errors to see why an entity could not be imported. In our example below of an error file, a set of cost codes could not be imported due to having an invalid "Status" value.
