        Project Maintenance
         
        Summary
        
         
        A Project is the highest level of organization in the Project Management module because a project can be 
	associated with multiple tasks. For example, if you are organizing a parade, you 
	could set up the parade as a project and then create a task for each job that 
	needs to be completed. The time card entries and transactions will be posted to 
	the tasks, but the tasks will be grouped together by project. When you want to 
	view the progress of a project and the tasks associated with it, generate a Task 
	by Project Report (PM> Reports> Task by Project).
