Indirect allocation

The quickest and most general method for linking employees to a project is by indirect allocation. Here, you give a group of employees access to register time for each of the project’s tasks. The project manager does not need to decide who needs to register time for the individual tasks. The group can either be all employees, employees in a chosen department (if you have the TimeLog Departments extension) or a more closely defined group of employees that are gathered as a project group under the Resource group tab.

Since in this way, access is given to time tracking for all the project’s tasks, the hourly rate is determined for all tasks that are settled by time spent, also on a general level. This is done on the project's main information by either choosing a shared hourly rate for all, creating a resource group with specific rates for each member, or by letting the rate depend on the individual member's standard rate according to the employee's standard information.
