## Copy all to board

7pace lets you copy aggregated time data to a designated monday.com board. To do this, navigate to the *All Times* view and run **Copy all to board** (button on the top right). 

After the worklog data is copied, you can work with this data in the same manner as any other slice of monday.com data. For example, connect columns from other boards and create dashboard widgets.

## Automatic rate matching 

You can also set up monday.com automation in the target board to truly interconnect data with other boards (for example, obtaining rates); these automations are kept when new data is added to this board.

First, locate the board where the rates are tracked. This board must be associated with the respective users. In this example, the board is named 'People'.

Next, create a connected board column linked to the People board, and add a mirror column to pull data from the Rate column. If you're unsure how to configure this correctly, refer to the existing 7pace Export board in the 7pace Template for guidance.

Next, set up a formula column named **Budget spent** that calculates the spent budget by multiplying the number of logged hours by the matched rate.

Next, configure two Match automations for the following scenarios: **Item Creation** and **Column Update**.

You can refer to the automation setup in the **7pace Time Export Example** board as a template for this configuration.

Once all steps are completed, trigger the **Copy to Board** process again to ensure the rates are automatically mirrored, allowing the **Budget spent** field to be calculated correctly. This process will be applied automatically for future exports to this board.

We recommend setting the board with the copied data to **public** by changing its type to **Main**. 

## Additional details and current limitations

- You cannot choose the target board at this moment. The system automatically creates a new board for you the first time you use the **Copy to board** feature, and the system will continue using this board until you remove it or until the board is full. The board is initially set to **Private** because it can contain sensitive data; feel free to change it to **Main** if needed.
- Starting in April 2024, data is exported 1:1 when using **Copy to board**; meaning that every time entry has a counterpart in the target board.
- All comments and active custom fields are included in the copied data, regardless of whether they are displayed when browsing the *Times Explorer*.
- The target board is bound to a user, meaning that a new board will be created for every user who runs the **Copy to board** functionality.
- Copied data is static, meaning that if you change time entries in the past after they have already been copied to a board, the changes will not be reflected in the board. It's the same as if you exported the data to a spreadsheet.
- If you need to refresh past data, simply remove the respective group in the target board and copy the same period from 7pace Timetracker again.
- Every **Copy to board** run creates its own group in the target board. This makes deletion of obsolete or accidental exports easier, as well as informing the user of the date and the selected range of past exports.
- You can enhance the target board with your own columns and automation, and the board is still eligible for further exports from 7pace unless you alter the columns created by 7pace. The system checks the board structure before every export; if the board is no longer eligible, it creates a new one.
- To maximize functionality, avoid using the **View only items that are assigned to users** setting, or ensure that users have access to this private board; otherwise, worklogs cannot be automatically matched with users.
