Create & manage projects & clients on workspace level

As a Workspace admin or Owner, you’ll play a key role in creating and managing projects and clients. This will help your team organize their time, track progress, and optimize workflows. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about setting up, managing, and maintaining projects and clients in your workspace.

Conceptos clave #

Proyectos #

Projects are essential for categorizing and grouping time entries based on the type of work being done. They help you analyze data, generate reports, and track the time spent on different tasks.

A project can only belong to one client but a client can have multiple projects.

Projects can be private (visible only to selected users) or públicos (visible to everyone in the workspace). Projects are useful for tracking time, setting estimates, assigning tasks, and reporting.

Clientes #

Clients are the entities or individuals for whom you are doing work. Clients can be linked to multiple projects, and each project can belong to only one client.

Crear proyectos #

As an Admin or Owner, you have the ability to create projects for your workspace. Here’s how you can do it:

Who can create projects? #

By default, only Administradores can create projects. However, this setting can be changed to allow Admins and Project Managers o Cualquiera in the workspace to create projects. You can modify this setting in Configuración del espacio de trabajo.

Steps to create a project:

1. Ve a la Proyectos página
2. Haz clic en Crear nuevo proyecto
3. Escribe project name
4. Select a client
   If the client doesn’t exist, you can create a new one right from the project creation screen if you type the name and click Crear cliente
5. Selecciona project color to help visually distinguish your project
6. Set visibility
   Choose between Público o Privado visibility
7. Haz clic en Crear

Once the project is created, it will be available for time tracking. If the project is set to private, only users assigned to the project will be able to track time under it.

Quickly create project #

You can also create a project while creating a new time entry:

1. En la pestaña Rastreador page, click on the +Proyecto campo
2. Start typing the project name
3. If the project doesn’t exist, you’ll be prompted to Crear nuevo proyecto

2. Use the edición masiva feature to update multiple time entries at once in the Informe detallado

Once you’ve reassigned the time entries, you can archive and delete the project you no longer need.

Manage project access & permissions #

As a project manager, you have control over who can access the project, modify tasks, and track time under it. You can also assign users as project managers for specific projects.

To learn more about how to manage users on a project, please refer to our Manage users on projects help article.

Project status & notes #

Each project can have a status (e.g. In progress, completed) to help track its progress.

• Estado de proyecto: You can update the status as you track time and progress
• Project notes: Add additional context or instructions to the project by using the project note feature. This is especially useful for providing key details to the team working on the project.

1. Ve a la Proyectos página
2. Click on the project you want to edit
3. Switch to the Configuración pestaña

• Filter by: Active status, client, project users, billability, or name
• Sort by: Name, Client, or Status
