Overview
The Get Data process is the main process that transfers the data from your accounting packages into BudgetLink.
BudgetLink does not use a live link to your data. Instead, it provides a mechanism to synchronise the data from your accounting packages into different databases and into Excel's memory. Allowing you to run reports in the most efficient way.
Each time you require access to the latest data in BudgetLink, you will need to run this Get Data process.
To provide the best performance, there are two types of get data available:
- Full Get Data
- Quick Get Data
