It is possible to export data in different areas. Data is exported as “raw data” in csv. The export reports are prepared for appropriate applications. Export functions are accessible only to administrators.
Retrieval of data via the web interface
To activate the web interface, you need “system administrator rights”. Go to the system settings and the “Interfaces” tab.
Use the plus sign to add a new interface of the type “Data export via web interface”. You will automatically receive the path for access and the API key.
Enter a valid personnel number in the employee number. All data is retrieved with the authorizations of this personnel number.
You can now use the web path as a data source in various systems.
For example, for Microsoft Power BI or Excel. It is important that the API key is transferred in the header. Below you will find an overview of the valid parameters that must be transferred in the URL:
