Exporting bulk employee time records

Download and combine time records for periods longer than three months.

Last updated - Oct 22, 2026

Use the TimeDock Dashboard's Custom CSV export to download individual time entries, paired in/out times, or summarized hours.

Custom CSV exports are limited to a maximum date range of 3 months. For a longer period, download consecutive date ranges and combine the files:

1. In the TimeDock Dashboard, go to EXPORT > Custom CSV.

2. Set the From and To dates for the first period, up to 3 months. Enter the From and To dates in DD/MM/YYYY format. The example below covers 1 January to 31 March 2026.

3. Choose the required export columns and aggregation option, or select a saved template. Keep these settings the same for each file. See Custom CSV export for details.

4. Click Export to CSV to download that period's file.

5. Repeat steps 2 and 4 for each remaining period. Start each new period on the day after the previous period ends, so dates do not overlap or leave gaps. For example: 1 Jan to 31 Mar, 1 Apr to 30 Jun etc.

6. Combine the downloaded files in Excel:

   1. Open a new Excel workbook.

   2. Open each CSV file and confirm its columns are in the same order.

   3. Copy the first file, including its header row, into the new workbook. Append the data rows from the remaining files in date order, leaving out their header rows.

   4. Check the combined date range and save the workbook.

   5. Keep the original CSV files so you can check or recreate the combined workbook.

To export time and attendance records for a single employee instead of all or a department of employees, see Exporting hours for a single employee for instructions.
