  • Releases are deployed monthly to include enhancements and bug fixes.

How often does Workamajig backup the hosted servers?

We back up our servers hourly and rotate media every 4 hours. A nightly backup is performed each day and stored offsite. This data backup is used in case there is an issue with a particular server. There is not a way for us to restore information or transactions that you have deleted from your "instance" of Workamajig.

You may also request/purchase a backup of your data. The cost is US$39 per request. The backup consists of a downloadable file. In order to read this file, you must have SQL server.

NOTE: We are NOT able to restore just bits of the backup (i.e. project, timesheet, etc), the purpose of these backups is to be able to restore all data in case of a catastrophic failure.

How often do the application and data refresh itself?

This depends on what area of the system you are referring to as each feature works differently and for good reason.

Dashboards: These refresh on an hourly timer.

Project Schedule and Task Data: The database is updated as soon as someone commits a Save to the schedule. However the schedule does not auto refresh on it own, unless you make a Save. So if you have a process when multiple users have the same schedule open for editing, then use the Refresh button at the top of the schedule screen to be sure you have the latest schedule.

Nightly System Recalculation: For financial, newly entered company holidays and auto-pushing of schedule dates, this occurs once every night.

How do I download a PDF or print a single page or the entire Help Guide?

  • Page Links (to get the direct URL of the page for copying and pasting).

How do I submit a Request to delete records?

While we can fulfill most requests of this type, each is unique and we require you to reply with your understanding and authorization to the following:

  • We cannot guarantee that all requested records can be deleted due to data integrity issues;
  • We cannot forecast what potential problems that the user may run into when we delete these records;
  • It may take up to a day or more for their request to be processed; and
  • We reserve the right to refuse the request without reason.

Upon approval of this request, we first make a backup of your account data, then we will delete the records.

How much is file storage for our account?

You get 20 GB of free total file storage per active user (or based on your minimum user agreement, whichever is higher). If you exceed your total free storage, then the price is $20 a month per every 50 GB over of the total free storage.

There are alternatives for where you can host the files. To see these options, please read over the File Storage Choices and WebDAV Requirements guide.

*NOTE: Allocated disk space and cost on our servers is subject to change at any time.

When uploading a file, is there a size limit?

There's a technical limit of 2 GB as the maximum file that can be uploaded for each file. Make sure that the upload process is not interrupted by a screen-saver or the computer going into sleep mode before the upload is completed.

How do I know how much Storage Space I have used?

Under New Development.

To view files located in Project: Files area go to any Project > select the Files, and click on the search tab. Enter in at least a period in the Search option, but change the range of search for All projects, and click search. You will see a list of all files in all projects. From there, open and delete the files that you no longer need to cut down on your storage charges. See Closing a Project.
