What a Migration Specialist Should Know
about
Time Slips
Time Slips is a:
Desktop-Based Application
This means Time Slips typically runs as desktop software within the firm's office on employee PCs, however, some firms may use an IT provider that hosts Time Slips on a remote server in a remote datacenter. In this scenario, firm members may RDP, TeamViewer, RemoteApp, or Screen Connect to a remote PC where they access Time Slips. In this scenario, some people may say that Time Slips runs 'in the cloud', however, it is really just a desktop application running on someone else's equipment.

Contact Name Assist
In Time Slips, some contacts only have a "Full Name" field and nothing absolutely identifies it as being a person or a company. Universal Migrator will attempt to determine whether a name looks like a person's name or a company name. The Migration Specialist and the Firm Administrator should review this and make any tweaks if necessary.
The following credentials are required:
Admin Time Slips Credentials
The Migration Specialist will need an Administrator username and password into Time Slips in order to extract your data.

This should be the Administrator account and not another account that has administrative access.
