Hey there! Feeling a bit lost in your Projects Overview on TimeChimp? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! This guide will help you navigate your Projects Overview like a pro.

Let's start with an overview of the overview (got it?). At the top, you select whether you want to see old (archived) or active projects.

For each project, you see the project name, client name and start and end dates. If you want to see the hours and invoices per project, you can click on the project name and get a detailed overview of that project. Read more about this in the article about project dashboards.

Fine-tune your data using filters. Select the time period and projects you’re interested in, and scroll down to see a list of all your projects.

No projects showing? It might be time to create some! Add new projects by clicking the "Add Project" button. It couldn’t be simpler, right?

Lost in the sea of projects? Use filters to narrow down your view.

Here are the filtering options available:

These filters help you find exactly the projects you need!

Filters are located on the right side of the table or within the columns by clicking the three lines.

Here’s an explanation of some of the columns that might not be immediately clear:

If you track projects based on hours, you’ll see progress at a glance. If you have a financial budget, you can quickly see how much has been used.

In your overview you will see a number of columns. These include the columns Budget, Spent, Remaining and Cost. The values of these columns depend on your project's budget settings. Read more about this in this knowledge base article.

The budget column shows how many hours or financial resources you still have left on this project! Is there a currency sign in front of it? Then you can read here how much can still be spent, financially. Is there nothing in front of it? Then the column shows how many hours are remaining.

Under spent you can see how many hours you have already spent or how much money a project has generated, depending on the budget method. Under the heading remaining you can see how many hours or funds are left. Cost shows what all hours have cost so far. This is a calculation based on the employee's purchase rate (salary). Information on how to set this can be found here.

You can now fully customize the Projects page to suit your preferences. This includes selecting visible columns, adding important ones, and reordering them. Filters, column widths, sort order, results per page, and visible, hidden, or pinned columns are all automatically saved.

To create a custom view:

Want to create a main project with subprojects? As a project manager or admin, you can easily bundle projects from the Projects Overview.

Note: To bundle projects under a main project, they must be linked to the same client and cannot already be subprojects or main projects.

The main project acts as an umbrella, giving you insights into the data of all associated subprojects.

To add a new project to an existing main project:

Adding project managers to projects is now easier than ever—you can do it in bulk via the "Actions" menu.

And that's all that can be seen on the projects overview! No rocketscience, right? So if you're ever confused about what you see again, just look at this guide and you'll be right back up to date.
