With AccountLinx, you can export your employees' time data from ExakTime Connect into a compatible file for Microsoft Dynamics SL (Solomon). As Dynamics SL may be customized to fit your company's needs, it is possible that the default AccountLinx export for Dynamics SL will not match your Dynamics SL 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 Dynamics SL support. We will try to help you as much as we can, but there are aspects of Dynamics SL that are out of our area of expertise and your questions may be better answered by Dynamics SL support or your trusted contact to answer/assist.
