What is the Site and Project External ID

What is the Site and Project External ID

Why it’s important

You will use the External ID when exporting ClickTime timesheet or time‑attendance data to third‑party payroll or accounting systems such as:

  • MYOB

  • KeyPay

  • ADP

  • Other integrated platforms


Ensuring successful data export

To avoid import errors in your payroll or accounting software, make sure that:

  • The Site / Job Card ID or External ID in your other system matches exactly the External ID you enter in ClickTime.

  • This matching allows ClickTime to generate an export file that your payroll system can read and import correctly.
