Available now on Beta, This feature is in beta testing and will roll out to everyone soon.

What is this?

The Export Center sends finalized dailies to payroll or your accounting system. You pick an export format, a date range and the dailies. CLUE shows which days already went out. Exported dailies lock, so the numbers stay the same.
