Data synchronization overview 

During synchronization, TMetric transfers the tracked time data to ClickUp. You can find the synchronized working time for the task in the Track Time field, where it will be aggregated by members and time entries.

ClickUp Time Entry

TMetric time entry data is populated into the corresponding ClickUp time entry fields. The list below shows the ClickUp fields (in bold) and their TMetric matches: 

  • Name - displays the member who added the time entry for a task. ClickUp members are matched to workspace members in TMetric by name or email address.
  • Duration – the duration of a time entry.
  • Task Name – represents a task in ClickUp, which time is recorded for (a time entry is added for).
  • Billable - is matched to the billable rate of the project, which belongs to a specific time entry. Learn more about setting up a billable project here

Note: The Billable attribute is synced on the Unlimited plan and above.
