Installing the Attadale TimeSheets – Azure SaaS offering

Welcome to Attadale TimeSheets! This guide will walk you through the process of installing our software as a service (SaaS) offering on Microsoft Azure. Attadale Timesheets provides access to a database containing your time entry data which can be explored using a Power BI interface. Access to the database is a paid subscription, which can be purchased via the Microsoft store, and is billed per-user per-month.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, you will need the following:

  • A Microsoft Azure account
  • Administrator access to the Azure portal OR Office 365 portal
  • (Optional) A Power BI account to use the free visualizations
 
Step 1: Purchase the App

To purchase the data feed, see the SaaS offering at <INSERT LINK HERE>

Note: many of the available plans offer a free 30 day trial!

Note: even free trials require a valid payment method, per standard Microsoft requirements

You need to finish the configuration of the app before you can use it – click the “Configure SaaS Account” button at the bottom of the page to proceed the next step.

 
Step 2: Install the Power BI App

We provide a free Power BI template which interacts with the data feed – see the user guide for more details on using the tool.

You can install this map for users either by copying our template app (recommended), or by downloading the source PBIX file.

  1. Go to the template app HERE
  2. Click the “Install” button to start the installation process.
  3. Once the app is installed, you will be redirected to the “Apps” section, where you can access the app and configure it as needed.

 

The app is now installed and ready to use! You can access it by selecting it from the “Apps” section of the Power BI service.

Step 3: Assign Users, Managers, and Administrators

To assign users and administrators, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to the TimeSheet application.
  2. Click on “App Settings” on the bottom nav bar.
  3. Click on “Edit/Add Users” from the bottom nav bar.
