- Optional data on the General info window:
- Select the Client associated with the project using the drop down menu
- If you have a Time budget, enter it (in hours OR in man days; the system will automatically calculated the other value based on your company schedule). This information will be used to track the project budget vs the booked hours vs the actual logged hours and even against capacity data.
- Enter a Start date and/or End date of the project
- Enter a Manager
- Enter a Status
- Enter a Business unit
- Enter Project Notes
