Managing Projects

Managing Projects

What are Projects?
Projects are assignments that employees work on. Each projects is associated to a client and different jobs are associated to a project.
If an organization wants to track time for work done for their clients, adding clients and associating them with the relevant jobs and projects is important.

Managing Projects

To manage projects navigate to Operations > Timesheet > Projects.



Adding Projects

On clicking Add Project, you will be required to add the project details, which includes selecting the client to associate the project with.
Additionally, a project head and project manager can be selected. You can directly associate the project with a specific set of users or select the corresponding department or divisions. 


Adding a job to a project

Jobs can be added from the Jobs tab (you will have an option to select the project when doing so) or you can directly click Add Job from the project listing in Operations > Timesheet > Project tab.



Associating projects to users, departments or divisions

In addition to associating projects to different users, department or divisions when adding or editing a project, you can also do the same from Operations > Timesheet > Project.
Select projects using the checkboxes provided and click on the corresponding button.

Project Dashboard
