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).

Projects are an optional grouping in the Project Management module. You are not required to attach a
project to a task code.
