Update TimeTracker NX work items with Excel data

To reflect Excel data in a TimeTracker NX project, use the "Reflect Data" function of the Excel integration add-in.

  1. Create data in Excel using "Import" in the Excel integration add-in

  2. Click "Reflect data" on the "TimeTracker NX" tab.

  3. In the "Reflect data - Match columns and fields" dialog that appears,
