With AccountLinx, you can export your employees' time data from ExakTime Connect into a compatible file for JobPower. As JobPower may be customized to fit your company's needs, it is possible that the default AccountLinx export for JobPower will not match your JobPower setup exactly. Please read through this article before setting up AccountLinx to understand what is needed ahead of time.

If you have any questions or concerns during setup and/or use, you can contact us with the "Request Support" link at the top of the page and we will try to assist as best as possible. Keep in mind, however, that we are not JobPower support. We will try to help you as much as we can, but there are aspects of JobPower that are out of our area of expertise and your questions may be better answered by JobPower support or your trusted contact to answer/assist.

General Use of AccountLinx

After setting up the configuration of AccountLinx to better match JobPower in the previous section, you will need to:

• Map your entities so any time data associated with an ExakTime entity will match with a JobPower entity. Refer to the following article if you are unfamiliar with mapping your data in AccountLinx.
• If a cost code is not mapped (left blank), you can still export the time data from AccountLinx and import the time data into JobPower with a blank cost code.
• After mapping your entities, you can export your time data to import into JobPower. Refer to the following article if you are unfamiliar with exporting time data from AccountLinx.
