dropdown list, select a manager for the project.
If the project has a sponsor or requester,
enter the name in the project sponsor's field.
Click on the Save button to save the project

Important: Please note that a project will
only appear on an employee's timesheet if
it has tasks.

a new task to a project, click on the Tasks link on the Administration taskbar. Select
a project from the project dropdown list
and then click on the Add Task button. Enter the task description, the
start date and end date, the estimated effort
to complete the task, the budgeted task cost,
the task hourly rate, billable or non-billable
hours, and the rate type. The rate type is
used to calculate costs. The costs for the
task can be calculated using either the project,
task, or employee rates. To assign the task
to users in a group, select the group from
the list box. To select more than one group,
hold the Ctrl key down and left-click on
the group. The task will only be displayed
on the timesheets of the users in the selected
group(s). Click on the Save button to save the task to the database.
