Connector Specifics

Object Peculiarities

Holidays

This object, by default, returns the holidays for the current year when querying.

To get holidays for another year, filter by the Year field. This field displays empty results when querying. It exists for filtering only.

Worklogs

To increase the query performance for this object, use filter by the UpdatedDate field with the >= operator.

If you perform the INSERT or UPDATE operation against the records in the closed timesheet, you get an error “The timesheet status must be open for the period”.

PermissionRoles

To import data to this object, you must map the AccessEntityIds and the PermissionKeys fields in JSON format. For example, [1] for the AccessEntityIds, and [“permissions.worklog.view”, “permissions.worklog.manage”, “permissions.plan.view”] for the PermissionKeys.

If you don’t map the AccessEntityIds and PermissionKeys for the UPDATE operation, their values will be reset to nulls.

Objects with Required Period

Some Tempo objects require specifying a date range when querying. If you omit filters by date fields when querying data from these objects, you get the error like “The ‘PeriodFrom’ field of object ‘TimesheetApprovalForTeam’ is required for select operation. You must use it in the WHERE clause.”

The following objects require using filters when querying.

Object Filter by
TimesheetApprovalForTeam PeriodFrom, PeriodTo
LoggedUserSchedule StartDate, EndDate
CurrentTimesheetApproval A filter by the PeriodFrom is only required. Filter by PeriodTo is optional

WorkloadShemes

The Days field stores complex structured data in JSON format. You can use our Nested Objects mapping feature in Import to insert or update the nested values in such fields. Select the Nested Objects checkbox in import to enable this feature.

Skyvia supports Replication with Incremental Updates and Synchronization for the Worklogs and Plans objects.
