How to import employees usind Active Directory Import?
Answer
1) Log into Office Timesheets with the Administrator login then click on the "Import/Export" tab and choose the "Active Directory" button. Enter in your "Domain Controller", "Login" and "Password" and select the "Connect" button. This will populate the fields below with your Active Directory Groups.

2) Select the desired Active Directory Groups and choose the "Import" button.

PLEASE NOTE: By design when importing users from AD the display name for each user is filled automatically from first name + middle + last. If the middle name field is blank Office Timesheets will add a space to the display name. If your AD employees do not have a middle name displayed then this will need to be manually adjusted so each user's display name has the appropriate one space between the first and last names. To adjust the Display Name for each user simply click on the "Process Management" tab and highlight the first employee on the right most field. Click on the "Open" button to open a new dialog box. From this new dialog box adjust the Display Name as desired. Save and Close to set the changes.
