Create a project for reported time

Projects are the main buckets that activities belong to in Sandtime.io. A clear project list makes reports, billing, and timesheets much easier to manage.

Before creating the project

Decide:

  • whether the project is billable,
  • who should be assigned to it,
  • whether the name should reflect a client, internal area, or a delivery stream.

Keep naming consistent

Simple, stable names help avoid duplicate reporting buckets and make exports easier to read later.

Examples:

  • Client A
  • Internal Admin
  • Support
  • PTO

Tip

If several recurring activities should stay under the same project, keep the project broad and use the activity field for the more specific description.
