Integration Settings Overview

Once you navigate into your specific integration settings page, you will be able to import and link projects from that integrated application into Mosaic.

Manually Importing Data (e.g., a new project not in Mosaic):

In this example we are importing a project, although the steps are similar for other data types.

  1. Select the Import tab from the tabs shown below.
  2. Navigate to the Project you want to Import.
  3. Select the checkbox to the right of the Project as shown by the arrow below.
  4. (Optional) Select more Projects.
  5. Select Import (1) as new.

    This number will change to reflect however many Projects you selected.

  6. That's it! Navigate to the 'Linked' tab to check that the project has been imported successfully.

Note: Depending on the integration you selected you may see a variety of data types you can select from and import, in the picture below we have the Asana integration which only has 'Projects' and 'Members' Data types, but expect to see different data types for others.

Manually Linking Data between Mosaic and Your Integrated Application (e.g., a project that already exists in Mosaic and your integrated application).

In this example we are importing a project, although the steps are similar for other data types.

  1. Select the Link tab from the tabs shown above.
  2. Navigate to the Project you want to Link.
  3. Select the plus to the right of the Project as shown by the arrow below.
  4. (Optional) Select more Projects.

    There may be a pop up warning you about linked timesheets being imported. If there are timesheets linked that you would not like to bring over, then you should not link, otherwise select 'Yes, Link project'.

  7. That's it! Navigate to the 'Linked' tab to check that the project has been imported successfully.

General Integration Settings

Auto Import Projects and Phases

The Auto Import feature allows projects to automatically link and upload into Mosaic without having to manually link each one as above. For companies with a large amount of projects, the importing and linking process can be long and tedious, the auto-import feature helps to streamline this process.

📘

By default, Auto-Import allows for up to three project layers to be linked: Project, Phase, Work Category.

If your projects in your integrated application use more than 3 layers (eg. Ajera offers up to 6 layers) please contact your Customer Success Manager to confirm you have subphases enabled before trying to set up this feature.

Auto Import can be turned on in the Integrations tab as follows:

  • Select the cog next to the integration name as shown below:
1168

Auto Importing Projects

  • If you would like to auto-import all your projects, select All Projects in <Integration>.
  • If you would like to auto-import projects created after a specific date, select Link Projects created after and choose the desired date.

Default Portfolio

  • Select the Portfolio you would like projects imported into
  • By default, Mosaic imports new projects into the Import portfolio.

Auto Import Phases

  • If you would like phases to be automatically imported (rather than linking each one manually) select the 'Import all Phases' option below

To exclude some Phases in Auto Import:

  • (Optional) If you have Phases that you would not like to automatically import, you can instead select Excluding some Phases”and add the phases you would like to exclude from the Auto Import.
  • For more information, please refer to the Phase Exclusions guide.

Auto Import Work Categories

  • This feature allows Work Categories to automatically link and upload into Mosaic without having to manually link each one.
  • For companies with a large amount of Work Categories - also know as Service Items (QuickBooks) or Labor Codes (Deltek), the importing and linking process can be long and tedious, the Auto import all timesheet feature helps to streamline this process.

Project Link Statuses

Main Project Phase

  • For Projects without Phases, making the Main Project a Phase allows time entries to sync directly under the project from the ERP to Mosaic.

Use Make Main Project a Phase when:

  • Scenario 1: You do not have phases on either the Integration project or the Mosaic project.
    • This syncs time entries directly under the Mosaic project to the Integration project (and vice versa). Use this when you expect to add time to the main project.

🚧

Please Note:

If you select Make Main Project a Phase, time entries entered directly under the project in the ERP will sync to a default phase on the Mosaic project (and vice versa for QuickBooks).

This default phase is not visible on the Integration Settings > Projects tab, but it is visible in the Project Budget modal, individual time entries, etc.

Import all phases to Mosaic Project

Use Import all Phases to Mosaic Project when there are phases on the Integration Project that have not yet been imported to Mosaic.

This syncs time entries under all Phases in the ERP to the corresponding Phases in Mosaic.

How to check if your Project is linked

  • A Green Link Icon indicates that all phases are linked or that the main project is a phase (for projects without phases).
  • A Green and Red Link Icon indicates that some phases are linked. Hover over the tool tip to see the number of linked and unlinked phases.
  • A Red Link Icon indicates that none of the phases are linked, or the main project is not a phase.

Please Note: No time entries will sync between the Integration project and the Mosaic project if you see a Red Link Icon.
