I have historical data from the system we used previously. How can I import it into actiTIME?

We definitely can import your data. For more details, please contact us at support@actitime.com.

I ran out of user accounts

No problem! If there are users who stopped using the system, you can free up some user seats. Another option is to purchase additional accounts. To free up a user account, just disable one of the accounts you don’t need anymore. Open the Users interface, click on the user’s name, and in the User Account Settings box, turn OFF user’s access to actiTIME. If there are no users whose accounts you can disable, you can purchase more users from the Settings → Licenses menu.

I cannot delete a user

Users that have entered any time-track or comments cannot be deleted. So if you need to delete a user, first delete all their time records. Please note that you don’t need to delete a user to block their access to actiTIME or to free up a user account. For those purposes, simply disabling a user in the Account Information box is enough.
