Frequently asked questions about DeskTime Exports

To export time tracker data from DeskTime:
  • Head to the Exports section in the sidebar.

  • There, choose what kind of data you want to export: 11 different data sets are available. Once you've made your choice, you'll be asked to indicate the period you wish to be included in the export and the teams and team members whose data interests you.

  • Decide on the format for the data export: .xslx or .csv.

Depending on how much data needs to be included, the export may take some time to generate.

You can export timesheets to Excel in the DeskTime Exports section. It offers different types of data sets you can choose from, including Team Members' data and Work Schedules information – both of these exports include employee arrival and leaving times. Decide which type of export would work best for you in this case and who you'd like to have in the data (individual team members, whole teams, or maybe even the entire company). You'll also need to indicate the time period for which the data should be gathered.
There are several benefits that come with the option to download the time tracking data in Excel files as well. First, having access to the data in this format can let you do your own custom analysis and comparisons if you wish – while DeskTime provides various types of insights automatically, you might want to take a deeper dive into something more specific. Secondly, you can easily share the time tracking reports with others, like your customers, other managers, etc. Finally, by downloading the data, you can keep it in your own archive to access it anytime.
