I am starting to use the excel timecard import function, but I am running into a few obstacles.

#1 - I can't seem to add employees, it already has a fixed list of employees (and it's not all of our employees??)

#2 - This might be asking too much, but I will ask anyway. I wish I could add cost codes to the excel timecard even if the cost code does not exist on the job yet. This happens sometimes, as we end up wanting to record time to a cost code we weren't expecting to use - and I haven't been able to add to the job in EZJOB. Does that make sense?

Anyway, other than that it seems to be working just fine. Let me know.....

Cindy, I am glad you are using the Excel import feature - it saves a lot of time when you have a large employee base like you guys do. I'll answer your questions below:

#1 You are right, we do not let you add employees to excel timecards. When EZJOB creates the excel timecard, it adds all the "ACTIVE" employees to it. You would not be able to create a timecard for an inactive employee even within EZJOB's timecard entry.

#2 Again, the excel timecard is only as smart as EZJOB was at the time of creation. If the cost code does not exist on the job when EZJOB created the excel timecard, then the excel timecard will never know about it. I hope this is not too big on an inconvenience. I know you are aware of our online timecard entry that we will be releasing shortly. This feature is always in sync with EZJOB, so would be able to add cost codes after the fact (during the work week) and the online timecard would be updated with the new cost code.

Okay, I guess it's not too big on an inconvenience (but it kind of is).

Yes, I am looking forward to the online timecard! Thanks.
