Choose the right export file format

For Working Hours, choose PDF, CSV, or XML under Choose a format. Tag and absence reports instead offer CSV — Tab-Delimited and Excel — XML Format.

  • PDF creates a formatted timesheet for printing or sharing. You can configure notes, totals, paper size, orientation, and file naming. People who purchased WorkTimes 5 need WorkTimes Plus for PDF export.
  • CSV creates a plain-text file with values separated by tabs. It is the preferred choice for new spreadsheet workflows.
  • XML appears under Legacy Format for working hours and is marked Excel compatible. Tag and absence reports label the same option Excel — XML Format. Use it only for an existing workflow that requires the older format.

Note: When importing a WorkTimes CSV file, choose Tab as the delimiter—not comma or semicolon.
