Overview

Setting up your timesheet Integration is critical to pulling in the actual hours worked by People to populate the actuals in Parallax. This article will show you how to set up that connection for Toggl.

Like other timesheet Integrations, Toggl must be connected to Parallax before actual hours and other data can be pulled in (or data can be pushed from Parallax).

Important:  The email associated with Toggl will need to have Admin Permissions when connecting to Parallax.  Should that email change or be archived, a new Admin User Email will need to be used to disconnect and reconnect the Integration.   If the email is changed or Archived due to employee departure or the permission level for that user be changed to less than Admin, the data will discontinue to flow as intended. 

Project   

Projects in Toggl will map directly to the Service Offering within the Parallax Project. When assigning a person to a project in Parallax, that person must be assigned and associated with a project in Toggl. 

When building a role and assigning someone to that role in PX will push that person to the Toggl project when the project follows the Awaiting Start to In-Progress workflow. 

Time

Time within Toggl will map to the Actual Hours that are populated within Parallax.

Time Tracking: 

Time Added in Toggl but not assigned on Project in Parallax: 

When someone logs time to a Toggl project, they will automatically appear in the corresponding Parallax (PX) project through the timesheet sync. However, they won’t show up under the Teams tab in Toggl because their assignment was created by PX, not Toggl—and Toggl does not automatically add team members to public projects.

If you need the person to appear on the Toggl project’s Teams tab, you can remove them from their role in PX and then re-add them. This action triggers PX to update Toggl, creating the team membership and making them visible.

Integration Time Sync:

Your integration will sync every Hour and update time onto the project in Parallax.  You can also do a manual SYNC by going to the project and Integration then clicking the SYNC link on the Toggl timesheet for PX to run a manual sync at the service offering level to bring in any time that may be missing.  

Parallax runs a nightly sync however, this sync is focused on  any changes to time that may have occurred on a project after the original time was pulled into the project.
