Journyx Accountlink for QuickBooks enables your accounting and HR team to transfer Employees (users), Customer Jobs (projects), Service Items (activities), etc. to Journyx.

In this webinar, we take a deep dive into what Accountlink is and what it can do for you and your company. Specifically, we cover: 

  • Configure Journyx and QuickBooks for use with Accountlink
  • Run an Accountlink sync to see employees and customer jobs get created in Journyx

A primary reason customers use Journyx is for capturing accurate employee time and expense data for project cost accounting.  For those who are using Microsoft Dynamics GP, the Journyx Accountlink integration allows them to set up their Journyx site using their GP data.  It then allows them to pass back the actual time and expense information to GP for total project cost accounting. In this 30 minute webinar, we will look at the following basic concepts:

  • How to set up a new Journyx site using GP data
  • How the GP fields map to the Journyx fields
  • Employee time and expense entry based on the GP data passed to Journyx
  • How to send actual time and expenses back to GP for posting


Asking employees to complete their timesheet is only one piece of the puzzle.  Approving that time helps ensure accuracy of the data before you process the time for project accounting, billing or payroll purposes. In this 30 minute webinar, we will look at the following concepts and tools that are available for approving timesheets:

  • Timesheet approval
  • Timesheet approval creation process – including email notifications
  • Project-based approval
  • Project-based approval creation process – including email notifications
  • Organization Compliance Viewer – Graphical representation of the approval process for your organization
  • User Compliance Report – Formally known as the sheet status report


Journyx has designed a set of automation tools specifically for government contractors who need DCAA-compliant processes. This 30 minute webinar will cover the Journyx tools and configuration options that assist with designing compliant processes. We will look at what each tool is used for, as well as how to set it up.

Some of the processes we will cover include:

  • Audit levels for correcting time records
  • Daily reminders for time entry compliance
  • Options for printed materials for audit support
  • Supervisory monitoring of daily compliance


The Payroll Rules Engine (PRE) is a module for Timesheet that produces payroll-provider specific export files containing all of your company’s payroll data collected by Timesheet, with an option to preview and validate that data in a custom report. The PRE export file can be uploaded directly to payroll providers that support direct uploads and sent manually to those that require manual submission. The PRE’s default setup is for ADP, but Journyx Professional Services can configure the PRE to work for most other payroll providers, so if you’re not using ADP, don’t worry. Just inquire about what’s involved in modifying the PRE to work for your situation.

In this 30 minute webinar, we will review the PRE in Journyx Timesheet to make sure that you understand how to set it up based on Pay Groups. Specifically, we will cover:

  • Initially setting up the PRE
  • Organizing your users so that the correct rules apply to them
  • How to review and export data out of the PRE


Tracking time worked on projects is only one reason customers use Journyx to track their time.  Many customers are also interested in tracking holiday and PTO time. In this 30 minute webinar, we will review the different features for tracking time away from the office. Specifically, we will cover:

  • Leave requests
  • Tracking and calculating employee accrual balances
  • Scheduling company holidays
