Welcome to TimeCamp Help!

Smartsheet


Smartsheet is project management software for teams. Share your work with other team members, or simply collaborate on a specific task, Smartsheet makes it easy. Invite people anywhere to collaborate on your entire project by sharing the sheet with them, or simply send them a row with all attachments to get updates. Thanks to Smartsheet time tracking you’ll know how much time your team spends on their assignments!


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 Smartsheet account of the person who enabled the integration.  

Worskspces and Sheets will be imported as tasks under the Smartsheet project. Tasks and projects will be imported as subtasks under the tasks (workspaces and sheets) they belong to in TimeCamp.  

If someone from your Team added their private workspaces or sheets in Smartsheet and the person who created the integration was not invited to these spaces and sheets, they won’t be imported to TimeCamp. Only items the owner of integration has access to could be imported.

We don’t provide an option to select items that should or should not be imported from Smartsheet to TimeCamp. After the integration is enabled all workspaces and sheets 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 Smartsheet 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 Smartsheet they will be able to track time to all tasks under the Smartsheet 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 Smartsheet account.

Tasks marked as completed in Smartsheet still will be active in TimeCamp. If you delete items in Smartsheet they will be automatically moved to the list of Archived tasks in TimeCamp. If you create a new item in Smartsheet 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 the user who enabled the integration is not a part of your account anymore, we recommend reenabling the integration.
