Who is this article for

  • Those required to export Timesheet data from Assignar into their Payroll system.
  • Those set up as a Dashboard User with access to Assignar Web.

Once you've approved your Timesheets, you can use Insights to export timesheet data and import into your payroll processes.

At Assignar, we offer Payroll Export Templates, which enable 1-click export of your data to Xero, MYOB or Quickbooks. 

 

To begin, choose the right template you need from the All Insights page

1. Under Insights, navigate to the All Insights page in web

2. Use the search bar to find the Xero, MYOB or Quickbooks templates by typing either of these product names in the search bar. Alternatively, you can choose the Payroll Export option from the Type menu.

You can still use these templates and modify them without having to start from scratch.

You can also generate reports based on a schedule

For even more automation, consider using a scheduled report. This option allows for definition of scheduled intervals on which the report is generated and delivered to the appropriate team members.

  1. From the report menu, select Save and schedule.
  2. You will have to save the "Look" in your Assignar environment for future use, then set delivery options.
