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:
- Ve a la Proyectos página
- Haz clic en Crear nuevo proyecto
- Escribe project name
- 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 - Selecciona project color to help visually distinguish your project
- Set visibility
Choose between Público o Privado visibility - 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:
- En la pestaña Rastreador page, click on the +Proyecto campo
- Start typing the project name
- If the project doesn’t exist, you’ll be prompted to Crear nuevo proyecto
- Enter the necessary details such as project name, cliente, visibility, etc.
You can also use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Enter to quickly create a project.
Gestionar proyectos #
Archivar proyectos #
Once a project is completed, you can archive it to keep your workspace organized.
Steps to archive project:
- Ve a la Proyectos página
- Haz clic en tres puntos next to the project name
- Selecciona Archivar
- You can choose to mark all tasks as done during this action
- Haz clic en Confirma to archive the project
Restore archived projects #
To access archived projects again:
- Change the Active filter a Archivado at the top of the Proyectos página
- Haz clic en Aplicar filtro
- To restore the project, click the tres puntos next to the archived project and select Restaurar
Eliminar proyectos #
You can delete a project only after it has been archived. Once deleted, the project will be removed from time entries but the time data remains intact.
Steps to delete project:
- Ve a la Proyectos página
- Change the filter to Archivado o Todo
- Haz clic en tres puntos next to the archived project name
- Selecciona Eliminar y Confirma
Combinar proyectos #
While it is not possible to directly merge projects, you can:
- Filter the time entries of one project and assign them to another project
- 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.
Edit project name, client, or color #
To edit a project’s settings such as its name, client, or color:
- Ve a la Proyectos página
- Click on the project you want to edit
- Switch to the Configuración pestaña
- Make changes to name, cliente, y project color
These changes will be updated immediately across the workspace.
Setting billable rates for projects #
You can define a tarifa facturable for each project to ensure that time entries are tracked correctly.
Steps to set a billable rate for a project:
- Ve a la Proyectos página
- Click the project you want to update
- Switch to the Configuración pestaña
- Set the Tarifa facturable for the project
You can also set different rates per user in the Access tab if you want to apply specific rates to different team members.
Filtrar y ordenar proyectos #
With many projects in your workspace, it can be hard to keep track. Use filters and sorting options to easily find the projects you’re looking for.
- Filter by: Active status, client, project users, billability, or name
- Sort by: Name, Client, or Status
Create projects from templates #
To avoid recreating similar projects repeatedly, you can use project templates. This feature is available with paid plans and allows you to create projects with pre-set settings (billable rates, tasks, estimates, etc.).
To create a project from a template:
- When creating a new project, select project template from the templates you saved
- The settings from the template will be automatically applied to the new project.
Bulk add and edit tasks #
Admins and Owners can add and edit multiple tasks across several projects at once. This is useful for organizing large numbers of tasks.
Steps for bulk task management:

- You can add new tasks to multiple projects or overwrite existing tasks in bulk
