Upload a Job File to a Remote Site

Suppose you wanted one person (usually a system administrator) to set the Jobs (categories, clients, and projects) for a group of people. TimeSlice users can then have access to the same Job list via a network.

To upload a Job file, you must have a network or Internet connection.

Uploading a Job File

  1. Start TimeSlice, and Edit the categories, clients, and projects. These changes are saved to a local file. Quit TimeSlice.
  2. Start TimeSlice Admin, enter the password, and click on Upload Job File from the Control Panel, or select it from the File menu.
  3. Fill out the server, path, username, and password information. Click "Use passive FTP Mode" if necessary, and click Upload.
  4. Your local Job file is now resident on the server for others to access.
  5. Start TimeSlice, select "Job File Location" from the Jobs menu, click on "Use remote Jobs file from the location listed below," and enter the same information as was entered with TimeSlice Admin.

TimeSlice downloads the Jobs from the remote Job list. Additionally, users will not be able edit the Job list (unless they switch to a local Jobs file).

When specifying the upload file name, it's recommended not to use any space characters. In the example below, the uploaded Job file will have the name "timeslice_jobs".
