Journyx Suggestions for Microsoft Exchange (PDF)

Easier, quicker, smarter time tracking

Now tracking time with Journyx is even easier with Journyx Suggestions for Microsoft Exchange, which automatically
loads suggestions into your timesheet based on your calendar events and tasks.

Through the use of Microsoft’s Azure® Active Directory, you can link your Office 365 portal account and Exchange
information to your timesheet in Journyx. Suggestions make it quick and easy to fill out your timesheet with
information already at hand.

Calendar Events On Your Timesheet

Do you manage your work schedule on a calendar? The calendar event suggestions tool will help you enter time
quickly with suggestions based on your calendar events. By turning on suggestions for your timesheet, you can see all
of your calendar events during the period of your current timesheet. You can choose to ignore some events (e.g.,
personal appointments, reminders) and accept others for entry into your timesheet.

Time entry suggestions will include the date, hours and details of the calendar event. You can edit the suggested
values to accurately reflect how the time was worked, and the system will learn from your changes and make more
accurate suggestions in future timesheets. As time goes by, your suggestions will become so good that you can simply
save them and move on with your day

Tasks On Your Timesheet

Like calendar events, task suggestions can be useful for people who track some or all of their work using tasks in
Exchange. If you turn on suggestions for your timesheet, you can see all of your tasks that are due during the period
of your current timesheet.

Enabling Exchange Calendar Integration in Journyx

Once the connection is established as outlined above, each user in Journyx must be granted access to pull Exchange
calendar entries and/or tasks as suggestions via the time entry screen assigned to them.
