Projects
Basic project settings
Critical Limit
This is a warning when employees exceed 80% of the original project time estimate. (They have tracked more than 80% of the estimate.)
By default, it is set to 80%, but you can change this limit according to your needs.
Use Generated Project ID
This option will always automatically pre-fill the generated Project ID with every new project.
Allow Invoicing Higher Than Revenue for Ongoing Projects
By checking this option, you will be able to invoice an amount higher than the total revenue of the project.
We do not recommend using this option because the billed amount will not match the total revenue.
Automatically Save Transitions Between Tabs to Save Changes Made There
This option ensures that all changes in project editing are automatically saved when switching between its tabs, without having to click the save button.
Allow Users to Create Clients When Creating a New Project
By checking this option, you allow users to create new Clients directly when creating a project.
Allow Users to Create Activities When Creating a New Project
By checking this option, you allow users to create new Activities directly when creating a project.
Enabling the creation of activities and clients in the Project form can lead to duplication.
It often happens that one user names a client as Smarticon another as Smarticon Ltd. or Smartico PLC. Similarly, people may duplicate activities like Supervising, Construction Supervising, Site Supervision, all meaning the same thing to you, and you want to see them as a single activity in the report.
Time Tracking
By enabling the option to Display and Search by ID, you will see the project ID in the selection in the Time Tracking module.
