The Manage Projects section allows you to add, edit, or review projects that employees will log time against via the Timesheet module. Projects can be billable or non-billable and can be linked to specific clients, departments, and modules like Timesheet or Expense.
Navigation Path:
Control Panel → Timesheet → Manage Project
Steps to Add a New Project:
- Click on “Manage Project” located in the top-right corner of the Timesheet section.
