Previously, project managers faced significant challenges due to the lack of a centralised view of contributors and their time allocation.

The People tab solves these challenges by providing a centralised and detailed view of contributors within projects. With controlled visibility based on user permissions, project managers can now:

• Access a detailed list of assigned contributors:
  • Quickly view all contributors working on their projects
• Gain deeper insights into contributors' workloads:
  • Navigate to each contributor’s "My Projects" view to see their assigned projects and how their hours are allocated across them
• Analyse labor costs:
  • For project owners (and when the labor costs feature is enabled), view the Cost History of employees to track budget usage
• Access tracked hours:
  • View the table where employees log their project hours for detailed insights into their contributions

How it works

1. People tab

• A People tab has been added to the general view of Projects.
• This tab provides project managers with a centralised overview of all contributors assigned to their projects.

2. Controlled visibility

• Access to the People tab is restricted based on user permissions to ensure data security and relevance:
  • Admins
  • Project Owners
  • Project Editors
  • Users with fully enabled permission groups

3. Key features of the People tab

Contributor list

A comprehensive list of contributors assigned to each project. This overview includes:

• Full name and role
• Level
• Cost rate
  • The hourly cost per person
  • By default coming from contract
• Bill rate
  • Amount you charge your clients for this person
  • By default coming from “Jobs and rates”
• Profit margin
  • The margin calculated from the difference between the bill rate and the cost rate
• Custom rate
  • Custom rate set for this user
  • It can be reverted by clicking “Edit user rates” in the three-dot menu
• Number of projects assigned

Within each employee's tab you can access their My Projects section:

• My Projects overview: Ability to navigate directly to a contributor’s "My Projects" view for a detailed breakdown of their assigned projects and time allocation.
• Hour tracking: Access the detailed table of hours logged by the employee for each project
• Schedule: Access the employee's projects schedule
