Project types help you categorize and better evaluate your projects.
Each project can belong to only one type, and assigning a type is optional.
Once set up, you can allocate a project to a certain project type, filter projects and analyze time reports by type—so your data is instantly easier to read.
Key benefits and use cases
Organize projects consistently by assigning a clear category
Filter and group projects in the project overview by project type
Evaluate time reports by selecting one or more project types
Compare tracked time by type by summing recorded time per project type in reports
