Create a Client > Projects

In WorkBook projects are used to group a series of client jobs together for the purpose of reporting.

Projects can be created and assigned at job creation, or created and managed via the resources module. The method used will depend on your agency processes and your access role.

There are two types of projects in WorkBook 1) standard projects and 2) retainer projects. This article focusses on standard projects.

Each client must have at least one project associated with them, therefore at client creation WorkBook creates a project called Jobs [client name]. This is then used as the default project assigned at job creation.


ACCESS THE CLIENT CARD

Projects can be created and managed via the client card.

  • Go to the resources module > resource default grid

  • Select the client > open the client card
