Preventing Duplicate Time Entries During Imports

Repeated-source protection and duplicate hours are different issues. Always review the person and work date after combining sources.

Repeated-source protection and duplicate hours are different issues. Always review the person and work date after combining sources.

1. Check for existing coverage

Choose All timesheets and inspect the staff/date before importing or adding hours.

2. Understand attendance protection

The importer skips attendance source records already linked in the selected period. Reimporting does not overwrite or refresh those entries.

Import is for missing source-linked records, not a blanket replacement.

3. Understand schedule protection

Schedule fill skips a staff/day with an existing timesheet, including an entry filed in another period for that date. It reports the skipped day rather than overwriting.

4. Review mixed-source duplicates

Manual, schedule-derived and attendance-linked entries can require review together. Compare intervals and totals; do not assume a repeated import cleans them up.

Before you finish

  • The current Time entries interface has no verified Delete entry action. Contact Support for a duplicate that cannot be resolved through an eligible correction.
