Definition of an internal project

A project defined as internal will allow you to track time spent on non-external/non-billable projects; e.g., internal meetings, administration work, study/personal development but also R&D, business development etc.

Time booked on an internal project will be identified as such which will allow:

  • Management to filter and report on it.

  • Employees to see it in their Personal dashboard.

In order to book time towards an internal project, one must select the option Internal in the Time Classification of a time entry.

Time booked on an internal project will be excluded from:

  • The hours included in the Utilization this week in the header of the timesheet.

  • The hours included in the Target Utilization % in the Personal dashboard.

To create an internal project, choose from the menu Projects and click Create.

Now go ahead and complete the requested information:

The Closed stage is used once the project has been closed out.
