What's inside
- A csv folder with one file per table: company, people, person_rates, clients, contacts, tasks, projects, project_people, project_tasks, time_entries, expense_categories, expenses, invoices, invoice_lines, invoice_payments, estimates, estimate_lines and recurring_invoices.
- lockedhours-export.json: the same tables in one file, for developers and other tools.
- A short read-me. The files are UTF-8; ids link the tables together (for example, a time entry's project_id is a project's id).
- Hours are decimal (1.5 = 1 h 30 min). Money is in each client's currency.
The export works during the trial, after it ends (when the account is read-only), and while a closure is scheduled. For a single report, use Export CSV on the Reports page: Export a report to CSV.
Common problems
"Only admins can export the whole account."
Ask an admin to download it. Everyone can export their reports to CSV.
