The Projects app supports the configuration of customizable and automated project processing flows. Configure project progression; user roles involved in project processing; notification options for sending emails and SMS; and task completion and condition rules.
The Projects app allows multiple project types, each supporting a different workflow progression.
Create and manage customer projects requiring sophisticated resource allocation, costing details, and project tracking. Specify all customer contacts, roles, and all required company resources. Specify project locations and project-related items (orders, POs). Maintain all project-related notes and interactions.
Directly convert costing or budgeted items to quote or order from an existing project, track quote or order status and access quote or order from the project.
Add and directly access related items to a project. Related items can include a quote, PO, order or another project. Converted quotes and orders also appear under the Related items.
Quickly and easily allocate company resources (staff) to projects. Specify their roles within a project. Allocate selected resources full- or part-time, including start and end dates of project assignment and add bulk allocations. Easily select appropriate resources with a clear view of resource allocations across all activities. View resource availability by week, day or by summary.

Track project-specific events (meetings, milestones, etc.) and project resource allocations with project-specific calendars. Project calendars also display location-specific events (holidays, company off days, etc.) for better planning. Additionally, see resource-specific calendars on each resource’s profile to view their availability based on current project assignments; vacation days; sick days; etc.
Create and view notes for each project, with relevant documents/attachments, centralizing project information and making it easier to share across your organization. For each note, you can restrict access to selected users. Notes can be archived instead of deleted, ensuring no information is lost.
