Overview

This is the project management section, where you can add projects and tasks to later delegate them to your team and follow their progress.

The projects section is divided into 3 areas:

  1. Sidebar: navigate between your tasks, your projects and your team's tasks.

  2. Main Pane: displays tasks according to the option selected in the sidebar.

  3. Task Detail Pane: displays the details of the task you selected in the Main Pane.

Sidebar

  • My tasks : displays all the tasks currently assigned to you.

  • Project list control :

    • All: displays all of your company's active projects. You can modify the order with drag and drop. The new order will apply to everybody.

    • Favorites: will show only the projects that have been marked as favorites. Drag and drop to order it. This order will only apply to you.

    • By Client: displays your projects, sorted by clients in alphabetical order.

    • Archived: displays your archived projects

    • Collapse Archived: hides your archived projects.

  • Team: displays tasks by team members.

Create and edit a project

Roles: all roles | Free Feature

How to add a new project:

  • Click on the "+" button in the upper navigation panel and select Project,

    or

  • Click on the Projects tab, and on the Sidebar, select "+ Add Project".

A pop-up will appear, where you can enter the project details:

  • Project name: Choose a name to identify your project.

  • Public Project: If turned on, every user in the account will have access to it. If you want to make it private or visible only to some users, set Permissions.

  • Set Permissions: If chosen, the project will become Private. Private projects can be seen and edited by users with Admin and Project Manager roles, and by coworkers that have been granted access or have been assigned tasks within the project.

  • Estimated time: the amount of hours required to complete this project.

  • Due date: the date by when the project should be completed.

If Rates & Costs is enabled, you'll also be able to add:

  • By the hour: If you get paid by the hour for a project, you can enter your hourly rate in this field.

  • Fixed Price: Choose this billing parameter to set up a fixed price for the project that will be billed to your client.

Optional fields:

  • Client: You can assign only one client per project.

  • Custom Fields: add extra details to your projects.

⚠️ Project names are unique when associated to the same client, so that you can tell them apart.

💡 If you work for multiple clients within a project, a workaround would be to duplicate the project and assign the copy to another client.
