You can specify a status for each Work Item. Administrators, Project Managers, and the person assigned to the work can change status throughout a project.

Use status to identify items that need attention. You can customize status settings to suit your organization’s unique vocabulary.

Work items are dependent on assignments. When you add a work item to a person's project assignment, the item appears on the today view of their personal page.

You can add work items in two places:

• Project schedule: add unassigned work (at the project or phase-level) or add work to an existing team member's assignment.
  • Schedule tab > projects view
• Project worklist: Add unassigned work (at the project or phase-level) or add work to an existing team member's assignment.
• Project page >Worklisttab >+Work Item

Notifications can help you:

• Know the status of your assignments or tasks
• Know if a project you’re tracking has any changes
• Get the rundown on what’s happened during the day

The Activity feed aggregates these important changes and displays them in a historical timeline on each project page and on your personal page.

Activity feed

The Activity feed is a record of key project changes. It shows changes to people, projects, and assignments. Each change appears with a time and date stamp.

The Activity feed is only available in English.View Resource Management in different languages.

Email notifications

Email notifications alert you about important changes to your assignments or projects. Notifications are smartly aggregated, meaning if you make multiple changes close together, they're all sent in one email to reduce inbox noise. You can also choose to receive a daily digest of the day’s activity.

Some email notifications are only available in English.View Resource Management in different languages.

Edit your personal notification settings

To change how often you receive notifications:

1. SelectSettingsin the top right corner
2. SelectMy Preferencesfrom the drop-down list
3. In theNotification Preferencessection, select any of these options:
   • Off: No email notifications. You can still see changes in your Activity feed.
   • Immediately: Notifications go out as soon as changes are made. When multiple changes occur in a short time period, they’ll be grouped and sent in one email.
   • Daily (default): You’ll receive an email each morning detailing changes made during the past 24 hours.

Project notifications

By default, notifications are enabled for all projects.

If you’re resourcing or planning a tentative project and don’t want to alarm or overload your team with notifications, Resourcing Admins and Portfolio Editors can mute notifications on theProject Settingspage.

Following a project

You can follow the projects you’re not assigned to and get updates in your personal Activity Feed. If you're set to do so, you'll also receive email notifications about project changes.

To follow a project

2. Select theActivitytab.
3. At the top of theActivityfeed, toggle on theFollowoption.

Edit account-wide notifications settings

There are two account-wide notifications settings:

• Enable Notifications: Notifications go to all people in your account. Each person can still set their own email notification preferences from theirMy Preferencespage.
• Disable Notifications: Disables notifications for all people in your account and hides email notification preferences from theMy Preferencespage.

Create a template project like any other project.

Use naming conventions that make it clear the project is a template. For example:

• Project Name = TEMPLATE: X-Project
• Project Type = Tentative
• Project Tag = TEMPLATE

Once the template is set up, you can duplicate it to create a new project.

To duplicate a project:

1. Go to the template's project page and selectProject Settings.
2. On the left sidebar, selectCreate a Copy.

If you have repeat projects with the same client, create a template project with the bill rates you charge that client and label it accordingly. Save it as anInternalorTentative项目类型,所以很明显只是一个模板。Now, you can copy this project every time you need that specific rate card.

To transfer historical time tracked from one project to another, you can gather the total amount of hours for each person in the first project and create a new project. In the new project you will add each person with the total number of hours they worked in the old project and change the date in which they worked on the project to a date in the past.

Alternatively, you cantag projectswith the same custom field or tag, so when you view the schedule or reports, you can filter to see data associated with all projects with that tag or custom field.

You cannot merge projects in Resource Management.
