The WFS (Roster Live) integration allow timesheets to be created based on files exported from WFS.
To begin the timesheet import process, select the 'Manage Employees' tab, then the 'Import Timesheets' option:
Important: When importing timesheets from WFS, employee and location data needs to exist and match the data from the timesheets being imported. It is therefore recommended that you use the Import Employees functionality to ensure matching employees and locations can be determined.
The default date is optional and only necessary for instances where only times are exported from WFS.
The 'Approve timesheets' option is to determine whether the timesheets are automatically approved or whether they should go through the standard timesheet approval workflow. Click Import to begin the process.
Once the process is complete you will be given the option to import more timesheets or proceed to the timesheet approval section.
