Import Punches — Universal

Run the integration to import punches.

This integration imports punch data from a flat file.

Universal integration packs exchange data by way of flat files, either to export data to the file or import data from the file. Other systems access the data in these flat files to complete the import or export integration. The default settings allow rapid configuration and runs of the integration process, while the exposure of the data maps and cross-reference tables in the extensions allows overrides and customizations of the default data mappings or values.
