Previously, project managers faced significant challenges due to the lack of a centralized view of contributors and their time allocation.

The new Contributors tab solves these challenges by providing a centralized and detailed view of contributors within projects. With controlled visibility based on user permissions, project managers can now:

• Access a detailed list of assigned contributors:
  • Quickly view all contributors working on their projects.
• Gain deeper insights into contributors' workloads:
  • Navigate to each contributor’s "My Projects" view to see their assigned projects and how their hours are allocated across them.
• Analyze labor costs:
  • For project owners (and when the labor costs feature is enabled), view the Cost History of employees to track budget usage.
• Access tracked hours:
  • View the table where employees log their project hours for detailed insights into their contributions.

How It Works

1. New contributors tab

• A new Contributors tab has been added to the general view of Projects.
• This tab provides project managers with a centralized overview of all contributors assigned to their projects.

2. Controlled visibility

• Access to the Contributors tab is restricted based on user permissions to ensure data security and relevance:
  • Admins
  • Project Owners
  • Project Editors
  • Users with fully enabled permission groups

3. Key features of the Contributors tab

• Contributor list: A comprehensive list of contributors assigned to each project.
• My Projects navigation: Ability to navigate directly to a contributor’s "My Projects" view for a detailed breakdown of their assigned projects and time allocation.
• Cost history (Optional): For project owners with labor costs enabled, view each employee’s cost history.
• Hour tracking: Access the detailed table of hours logged by employees for each project
