Navigation
By default, this page will show all projects grouped by client alphabetically. Clicking any column will sort according to that field. You are able to search for a specific project in the field under the "Projects" heading.
On the right-hand side, Workamajig will populate a Gantt chart based on your project schedule. This is viewable in a day, week, or month view.
Clicking the blue link for any project on this page will open the project landing page.
New projects can be created from this page using the + New Project button in the upper left-hand corner.
From the More button, you can access the display settings, project templates, system settings, and views.
Grid
Information on this page will be placed into columns that can be sorted on an ascending or descending view by clicking on the column header. Ascending columns are notated with an arrow (▲) in the column header as seen below:
Descending columns are notated with a down arrow (▼) in the column header:
To clear these selections, click into the column header again until no ▲ or ▼ arrows display.
Certain fields can be changed directly from this listing without opening the project itself.
Update projects rows
By clicking on a row, you can edit certain details of the project, such as project status, account manager, status notes, etc.
Open new project
Financial status
By clicking on the Financial Status Icon for the row, it will open the Budget Page for the project to review.
Project schedule status
By clicking on the Project Task Status Icon for the row, it will open the Schedule page for the project to review.
Percent complete
- The % Complete column is a calculation of all task durations and which tasks are complete.
- Tasks with a zero-day duration are calculated as 1-day duration.
For example:
- If a project has two tasks. Task 1 is 9 days in duration, and task 2 is 1 day in duration. When task one is marked 100% complete. The % complete will be 90%.
Gantt
Located on the right-hand side of the Project Manager - Projects page, the Gantt will display information based on the task and schedule information inside of a project. Hovering your cursor over any of the bars in the Gantt will provide some more information on the start and completion dates, as well as the completion percentage.
Note that Saturdays and Sundays are grayed out as nonworking days by default. Public company holidays that have been blocked out in Workamajig's calendar will also show.
These buttons, located in the upper right-hand corner of the Gantt view will cycle the view from the day, week, or month view, respectively.
