The layout below can be used to import ExakTime Time and Attendance records into Core HR. Column Headers are provided in the Exported ExakTime Employee file in the order of the columns specified in the table below. The import file will automatically import upon user clicking "Export" in the ExakTime Time Card Summary Page in ExakTime Connect.
If importing without the integration, all 9 columns are required to exist, though the fields themselves are not required.
General Information on Importing
For general information on importing data, refer to the following dedicated article that details how to import a file, supported formats, and other related information.
Import Layout
When creating your import file, you must:
- Create Column Headers.
- Match the order of the columns with the table provided below.
- Match the number of columns with the table provided below.
If columns are added or removed, the import process file will stop and an error message will be shown, resulting in no records processed and an error logged in the import history.
When is a Record Added vs Updated?
If a field is identified as a key field with the label [key] in the 'Required' column in the table below, Core HR will update the existing record with the matching [key] field data instead of creating a new record (i.e. when importing a file containing employee data and Core HR recognizes an employee's SSN as belonging to an existing employee record, Core HR will update the existing employee record with the data from the import file instead of creating a new employee record).
If no field has the [key] label in the 'Required' column, the import layout will always create a new record and not update any existing records.
