With AccountLinx, you can export your employees' time data from ExakTime Connect into a compatible file for STRUCTURE by C/F. As STRUCTURE may be customized to fit your company's needs, the default AccountLinx export for STRUCTURE may not match your STRUCTURE setup exactly. Please read through this article before setting up AccountLinx to understand what is needed.

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 STRUCTURE support. We will try to help you as much as we can, but there are aspects of STRUCTURE that are out of our area of expertise and your questions may be better answered by STRUCTURE support or your trusted contact to answer/assist.

Data Mapping

Mapping allows you to data map your ExakTime entities and complete additional fields so your AccountLinx time data export matches the corresponding STRUCTURE entities. Your data mappings will be saved once done allowing you to focus on data mapping any new entities added to ExakTime since the last export. Refer to the following article if you are unfamiliar with mapping your data in AccountLinx.

Exporting Time

After mapping your entities, you can export your time data into a compatible file to import into STRUCTURE. Refer to the following article if you are unfamiliar with exporting time data from AccountLinx.

It is recommended to consult with STRUCTURE for further assistance with importing and using the time data as they are more knowledgeable of utilizing their system.
