How to import data from the Report Builder app? (Data Center)
Overview
Export/Import tab provides the ability to Import Data from Report Builder app using JSON. If you did not use Report Builder app before spliting it to Timesheet Builder and Report Builder, you can ignore this tab, as there is no data to be uploaded.
