Add Time and Fee Categories

When you use Itemized Tracking for time, Time & Fee Categories can standardize how your team describes each entry. 

Time & Fee Categories can include things like travel, meetings, research, or production. Frequent, standard work activities make good categories and provide useful data in reports. 

You can create additional, project specific categories in the budget settings for each project. And in Reports, you can group data so you can see how much time is spent on each category.

Standardized categories means everyone is using the same categories; this gives you more useful data. You can add new categories at any time, but make sure they’re working for you.
