Status Change

Change the status of a project by selecting the appropriate status and clicking Update.

Each time the project status is updated, TimeLog logs the time of change, as well as the name of the person that changed the status. This makes it possible to see when a project is, as an example, approved, or set in progress.

If you update the status to a status that “leapfrogs” over another status, such as changing the status from Quotation to Completed, the date is also entered for the stages in between. This means that if a project goes from Approved to Completed, the date is filled in automatically for the status In progress. The project instantly goes through all statuses in between.

If you set the project’s status back to an earlier status, the date stamp is removed for all the statuses that take place after the new, current status. If the project goes, for example, from In progress to Quotation, the date stamp is wiped out from the In progress, and Approved status.

When you click the button next to the project status box, the dates displayed indicate when the project was switched to a specific status. The dates can be edited, so that even if the project status was changed later, you can change the date to the time when the status was actually changed.
