Synchronizing users and tasks 

Synchronizing users

In order for the integration to synchronize time registrations and work for a person, that person must be linked to its corresponding TimeLog user. This is done at the bottom of a user's profile page in the section labeled TimeLog. The below step-by-step guide will assist you.

To synchronize users between Forecast and TimeLog

  1. Click on your profile icon in the top right corner of the screen from anywhere on the platform.
  2. Click on Admin.
  3. Click on the Resources page.
  4. Click on the People tab.
  5. From the people tab find and click on a user that needs to be synced to TimeLog.
  6. From the user's profile scroll down to the section that reads TimeLog.
  7. Click on the dropdown button there, find and select the user's account from TimeLog.
  8. Once the account is selected the two profiles will be synced and information will flow for that profile between the two platforms.

Synchronizing tasks

The integration runs every 15 minutes and synchronizes the following for Forecast projects linked to TimeLog projects:

Forecast   TimeLog
Task    => Task
Time Registrations <=> Work

Where "=>" denotes one-way synchronization and "<=>" is bidirectional. If a Forecast person is linked to its corresponding TimeLog user and is assigned to a task, then that TimeLog user is allocated to the task.
