Meistertask is a flexible project management app that scales from personal project tracking to a full-blown project management tool for a large team. This integration adds the ability to log hours against projects, lists, and tasks. Tracking time can help for example accurately invoice your customers, or estimate the profitability of the project.
Overview
The integration will be enabled for the entire account, so all users will be able to track time on imported tasks. The integration will be connected to the Meistertask account of the person who enabled the integration.
Projects will be imported as tasks under the Meistertask project. Lists with their tasks will be imported as subtasks under the tasks (projects) in TimeCamp.
We provide an option to select projects that should or should not be imported from Meistertask to TimeCamp. After the integration is enabled and you selected the desired projects all lists and tasks the owner of integration has access to, will be imported to the Projects module in TimeCamp.
It is not possible to edit the structure of imported items in TimeCamp
After the integration is created and the Meistertask items are imported you can assign your Team to the entire project or to certain tasks. As an integration creator, you automatically gain access to all imported items. If users are assigned to the main project Meistertask they will be able to track time to all tasks under the Meistertask project structure. If users are assigned only to certain tasks, they will be able to track time only to these tasks and subtasks under the tasks’ structure.
We don’t provide an option to export tracked time from TimeCamp to the Meistertask account.
Projects marked as archived or deleted in Meistertask will be automatically moved to the list of Archived tasks from TimeCamp. But tasks that are marked as completed, archived, or deleted will stay on the list of active tasks in TimeCamp.
If you create a new item in Pivotal Tracker it will be automatically imported to TimeCamp within 1 hour. To immediately synchronize the integration and update newly added items use the “Force synchronization” option on TimeCamp web Timesheet. Synch will be executed within a few seconds.
If user who enabled the integration is not a part of your account anymore, we recommend reenabling the integration.
