WorkflowMax (WFM) is a project management service that integrates with Xero accounting software to give you greater visibility over your people and your profit.

This integration makes it easy to sync your WorkflowMax staff and jobs with Float and drag and drop tasks directly onto your Schedule.

As the Account Owner, navigate to your Team settings, select the Integrations tab, and click Allow to access your WorkflowMax account.

📝Note: You must have Administrator privileges in WorkflowMax with "Authorize 3rd Party Full Access" enabled to connect.

All of your existing staff and jobs will be imported to Float by default. To specify the jobs and staff that are imported, click Select jobs.

💡 Here's a tip: To import an existing job later on, click Select jobs and check the box next to the job. You can disconnect individual jobs the same way.

Check the box next to Send Float Logged Time if you want to export the logged time created in Float back to WorkflowMax.

From the Schedule, click the Integrations icon to open the sidebar. This is where your WorkflowMax tasks live in Float.

Scroll or search for the task you'd like to add, and then drag and drop it onto a person's schedule to create a new task in Float.

Additional fields that are synced from WorkflowMax include job description (imported as notes), budget, manager, milestone date, staff email, task description (imported as notes), and start/due dates.

Task hours are determined by the estimated hours you've set in WorkflowMax. If no estimate is set, the task will be equal to the person's work hours for the day.

💡 Here's a tip: You can adjust any task directly on the Schedule by dragging it horizontally to increase its days, or vertically to decrease its hours.

Your WorkflowMax tasks can be scheduled as many times as you'd like and do not disappear from the sidebar.

Once a task has been scheduled in Float, a white dot appears next to it on the sidebar to make it easy to identify.

Changes you make in WorkflowMax are reflected on the sidebar but do not impact tasks that you've already scheduled. The same is true when editing tasks on the schedule (e.g., if you edit the name of a scheduled task, it will not change the name of the card on the sidebar).

You can collapse jobs to hide their tasks or use the search to quickly find the job, task, or assignee you're looking for.

💡Here's a tip: You can sort how tasks appear underneath their project on the sidebar. The available sort options are Name (A-Z), Assignee (set in WFM), Not scheduled (in Float), Same as WorkflowMax (how they appear in WFM).

Synced projects are easy to identify in Float by the icon displayed next to each project on the Manage page.

You can send your time tracking hours back to WorkflowMax time sheets by checking the appropriate box within your integration settings.

Just drag and drop a card onto a team member's schedule when in the Log team view and the hours are recorded instantly.

As with scheduled tasks, you can easily adjust the time after dropping it onto the Schedule.

📝Note: The Send Float logged time to WorkflowMax box must be checked within your integration settings to export logged time.

📝Note: Task hours for time tracking are based on the last hour setting used in the Logged view (if no estimated time has been set in WFM).

Hours logged in Float are sent back as time sheet entries matched to the staff member in WorkflowMax.

📝Note: Once a Time log has been created for a Task from an integration from Workflow Max (WFM), users will no longer be able to update the Project/Phase/Task.

If you need to correct a mistake, the time log will need to be deleted and a new Task dragged in from the sidebar.
