Create & manage projects & clients for your team

Learn how to create, manage, and organize projects and clients in Clockify.

Créer des projets #

Projects help categorize and track time entries for specific tasks. Each project is typically assigned to a client, though you can create clientless projects for internal use.

Étapes à suivre pour créer un projet : #

1. Go to the Projects page and click Create new project
2. Nommez le projet
3. Select an existing Client or create a new one by typing a name and clicking Create Client
4. Choose a Project color and set the Visibility (Public or Private)
5. Cliquez sur Créer

Once created, you can assign tasks and start tracking time for the project.

Création rapide #

When adding a time entry, click the +Project field, type the project name, and select Create new project.

Gérer des projets #

Archiver des projets #

Once a project is completed, you can archive it to keep it out of the way during time tracking. Archived projects remain in reports.

Steps to archive #

1. Go to Projects and click the three dots next to the project
2. Sélectionnez Archiver

To restore an archived project, click the three dots and select Restore.

Supprimer des projets #

Projects can only be deleted once archived. Be aware that deleting a project removes it from time entries but leaves the time data intact.

Steps to delete #

1. Go to Projects and select Archived from the filter
2. Click the three dots next to the project and select Delete

Set project billable rates #

You can set a billable rate for each project, which applies to all time entries associated with that project.

Steps to set a billable rate:

1. Go to the Projects page and click on the project name
2. Switch to the Project settings tab
3. Définissez le taux facturable pour le projet

Créer des clients #

Clients are necessary to link to projects, though they can exist without a project.

Steps to create a client: #

1. Allez sur la page Clients
2. Enter the client’s name and click Add

As a Manager, you can create clients when creating a project, but you won’t have access to the Clients page unless you’re an Admin.

Assign tasks to projects #

Tasks help you break down the work within a project. You can add new tasks, assign them to users, and set deadlines.

Steps to add a task: #

1. Go to the Projects page and select the desired project
2. In the Tasks tab, enter the name of the task in the Add new task field 
3. Cliquez sur Ajouter
4. Set assignees, billability, rates and other details

Filtrer et trier des projets #

With many projects, filters and sorting options help you stay organized.

Filter projects by Status (Active, Archived), Client, User, and Billability.

Sort projects by clicking on Name, Client, or Status to sort projects alphabetically.

Set project templates #

If you manage multiple similar projects, creating a template can save you time. Templates pre-define settings like billable rates, tasks, and estimates.

Steps to set a project template: #

1. Create a project as usual
2. Click on the Project settings tab
3. Sélectionnez Définir comme modèle

Role permissions for Managers #

As a Project manager, you can:

• Create, edit, archive, and restore projects
• Add and modify tasks, assign them, and track progress
• Change project visibility (public/private)
• Add/remove members from projects
• Set billable rates for projects and tasks

As a Team manager, you have similar permissions but without the ability to manage project settings like billable rates or templates.
