Projects
A project is a piece of work for a client. It decides how time is priced — hourly, fixed fee, or non-billable — and can carry a budget.
A project is a piece of work for a client. It's the second link in the Clients → Projects → Tasks → Time → Invoices → Payment chain, and the place that decides how time is priced.
Rate type
Every project has a rate type, which determines how its time entries are valued:
| Rate type | What it means |
|---|---|
| Hourly | Time is billed at an hourly rate (starting from the client's default, override per project). |
| Fixed fee | The project is billed at a set price, regardless of hours logged. |
| Non-billable | Time is tracked for the record but never billed. |
This is the middle of the rate cascade: the client default rate flows into a project, and the project rate prices the time logged against it. See Billing types and rates.
Budgets
A project can carry an optional budget, set either in money or hours, with warning thresholds so you get a heads-up as you approach the limit. Budgets are a guardrail — they help you see when a project is running hot, not a hard stop. See Project budgets.
Who can see a project
Projects are how access works for your team. Members only see projects they're added to — they won't even know other projects exist. Add a Member on the project's Members tab, or assign them a task, which adds them automatically.
Managers, Admins, and the Owner see all projects in the workspace. Members are project-scoped. See Project access.
