Creating Clients and Projects 82 • Project Structure (tasks) • Project/Task Assignments • Allowed Expenses • Project Information (excluding that listed below) Project data that is NOT copied includes: • Project Name • Project Code • Project Leader • Client and cost allocation method • Default Billing Rate • Client/External Approver • Project/Task-type user defined fields • Time Entry Start Dateand Time Entry End Date • Expense Incur Start Dateand Expense Incur End Date When you copy a project, the status of the new project will be Open (at the highest level), regardless of whether the existing project has been closed. In other words, if you copy a new project from an existing project that has been closed, the new project will still be open. The status of the tasks, however, will be cop- ied directly from the existing project. Managing Projects Once you have created some initial projects, users can begin entering time and expenses against them. As new projects arise, you or project leaders can add them, and users can then select them on their timesheet. The sections below provide information on working with projects after they are created. Additional informa- tion is provided in Chapter 15, Reporting on and Exporting the Data on page 87. Changing Multiple Projects at Once If you need to make a change to multiple projects, you can use the Mass Edit functionality. With Mass Edit, you can: • Edit the basic settings, including estimates, startand end dates, and allowed expenses, for multiple projects at once. For example, you may want to change the Project Leader on a number of projects if a new project manager is hired and he takes over some existing projects. • Edit details of tasks from multiple projects • Edit the rates associated with existing rate type assignments for team members, across multiple projects • Add a new user to the team of multiple projects • Assign a new rate type, and the associated rate, to an existing team member, across multiple projects For more information on using Mass Edit, see the online help.
