Preface

Welcome to Attendance Enterprise imports and exports – the fast and easy way to

create and automate tasks for putting data into and extracting data from

Attendance Enterprise.

About This Document

Importing and Exporting Information is a part of the Attendance Enterprise

documentation set. It describes all time and attendance imports and exports.

Audience

This user guide is for payroll administrators or other designated employees who

generate and use Attendance Enterprise data in other applications. Users should have

a working knowledge of Windows functions and know how to execute applications

in Windows.

Importing and Exporting Information 1

Chapter 1 Introducing Imports and Exports

Attendance Enterprise provides a variety of imports and exports that gather data for

use in Attendance Enterprise and other applications. For example, the Employee

Benefits Import allows you to use benefits data stored in a separate application. The

Comprehensive Employee Export allows you to create a file containing employment

and personnel information to use with other applications.

Imports and exports are generated from and stored in the Tasks folder in the Folders

list. You can define the content and layout of each import and export.

Running Imports and Exports

After import or export tasks are added to Attendance Enterprise, they must be run

for imports or exports to be generated.

To run an import or export task, right-click on an import or export task in the current

view area of either the Imports or Exports folder and choose Run.

Alternately, you can double-click on an import or export task in the current view

area. The import or export takes place. The Status window, or an orange lightning

bolt in your system tray, is displayed.

When the Percent column lists 100, the export or import is complete.

Introducing Imports and Exports

2 Attendance Enterprise

Sharing Imports and Exports

Import and export tasks can easily be shared by many users of

Attendance Enterprise. All user groups with the correct access privileges can access

imports and exports. The tasks each user group has the ability to perform (running

tasks, editing tasks, and so on) can be limited by setting up access permissions in the

following section. A user group‟s access to an import or export, or to any system

information, can be further limited by workgroups using the Workgroup Restrictions

tab in the User Group Properties window. For more information about user rights,

see Managing Your System in the Attendance Enterprise documentation set.

Setting Up Access Permissions for Imports and Exports

All imports and exports use the same tab for setting access permissions. By default,

all user groups who have access to imports and exports have access to all import and

export features. You can limit user access individually, for each import or export,

using the User Settings tab.

1. Click Add to see a list of users and user groups. The Select an Operator window

is displayed.

5. Select a user or user group and use the check boxes to the right to select that

user or user group‟s permissions.

6. You can add or remove all users from the list, as needed, using Add all users or

Summary

Imports and exports in Attendance Enterprise make it easy to add information to

Attendance Enterprise and distribute information to other applications.
