‍

Syncing Your Projects

‍

Once you have been successfully authenticated as an Administrator, you are ready to begin syncing your projects. 

‍

Choose which projects/lists from the project management application you want to sync with Insightful.

‍

Once all projects/lists are imported, you will be able to immediately start tracking time on projects/lists and tasks.

‍

When selecting projects to sync with Insightful, it is important to consider the following factors:

‍

• The size and complexity of the project: Larger and more complex projects may require more granular data, which can be difficult to track in a project management tool.

‍

• Syncing Flexibility: Syncing capabilities can differ among project management tools. Some tools only sync to-dos, while others offer a more complete sync of lists and tasks. It's important to choose tools that align with your project requirements.

‍

• Seamless Data Integration: It should be noted that not all project management software can integrate smoothly with Insightful. When there is a direct sync option available, the workflow is simplified, which eliminates the need for manual data transfers.

‍

After taking these factors into account, it's best to carefully choose which projects to sync with Insightful. Overloading the platform with too many projects can make it challenging to keep track of your data.

User Mapping

When setting up your Insightful account, you'll need to match users from your project management provider to our platform. This is important for tracking time and assigning tickets. Insightful will attempt to match users based on their email addresses and names, but any unmatched users can be mapped manually at a later time.

‍

Kindly be aware that this feature is currently in beta phase. If you encounter any discrepancies or problems with user mapping, please don't hesitate to contact our support team. Unmatched users will not have access to time tracking, but we will make certain that your ticket information remains up-to-date in real time.
