The TimeDock Custom CSV feature allows you to export time entry data in a number of customisable formats. It includes the ability to export raw in/out times as well as to summarise hourly totals, using different aggregate periods.

Custom CSV exports are limited to a maximum date range of 3 months. Follow the steps below to export data for an extended date range that spans more than 3 months:

  1. In your TimeDock web dashboard, navigate to EXPORT > Custom CSV.

  2. Use the From and To fields to select a date range of up to 3 months. Custom CSV export date range

  4. Click on the Export to CSV button to download the timesheet data for your selected date range.

  5. Repeat steps 2 and 4 to download a file for each 3 month date range, back to back. For example: 1 Jan to 31 Mar, 1 Apr to 30 Jun etc.
