Working with projects and activities

Users with the role 'Project Admin' can create projects and activities.

Simple creation of projects

In order for the users to be able to report time a project with its activities has to be created. This may seems to be a hassle but in Timeduty it can be made very easily:

Enter the name of the new project and select the project manager - create the project
Enter the name of the first activity in the project - create the activity

That is it! The project/activity is now ready - all users can register time and reports can be generated by project administrators.

Advanced options

There are several advanced options that can be used when creating a project:

Project information:

Client - If you have registered clients (customers) you can select a client for the project. This can later be used for filtering when creating reports
Visible only for project members - If this checkbox is selected only users that are added to the project as project members can report time on the project
Enabled - If this checkbox is NOT selected the project is disabled. When the project is disabled it is no longer possible to register time on it

Activity information:

Priority - If there are several activities registered in a project you can modify the priority of the activities in order to sort them in the order you prefer
Type of time - For each activity it is possible to configure the type of time. This can later be used for filtering when creating reports. The possible types are: 'Regular', 'Billable', 'Holiday' and 'Sickday hours'
