How to create and assign projects

Do you need to keep track of what your workers are doing during the day? Find in this article everything you need to know about creating and assigning projects to your workers.

With our project management tool, you can easily create new projects, add subprojects, assign employees, and track their work hours. Additionally, you can edit projects as needed, and change their status to reflect their progress. 

 

🚨 Before starting, check the permissions settings for project management. Remember that admins have it enabled by default, but you can activate it for any permission group.

 

 

How to create a project

  1. On your sidebar, go to Projects
  2. Click + Create project
  3. Fill in the Basic information:
    • Project name and Project code
    • Start date and Due date
  4. Define the roles of your project:
    • Project owners can edit projects, create subprojects, assign team members, and access financial information
    • Project editors can only edit projects, create subprojects, and assign team members
  5. Add the Financial details:
    • Fixed costs for indirect expenses essential for business operations, covering items like rent and administrative salaries
  6. Specify the Project’s budget: choose between No budget and Fixed hours by project

    • Assign employees
    • Duplicate project
    • Close project
    • Settings (click here to edit the project’s basic information and roles)

Subprojects are smaller divisions within a project, enabling better organization and work tracking. Each subproject can contain multiple subconcepts, further subdividing the work.

To add subprojects:

  2. Click + Create subproject
  3. Define the Subproject name
  4. Click Create subproject

💡By clicking on the three dots icon, you can Edit the name or delete the subproject.

 

💡 By clicking on the arrow, you can see the subproject details.

❗If you unassign an employee from a project, it means that this employee will no longer be able to track time on this project. However, any hours recorded prior to unassigning the employee will remain in the system.
