Documentation
Budget management
Budget management is based on the sub-task time tracking, the user timetable and the user hourly rate.
This section is available from project settings page: Project > Budget. There is also a shortcut from the drop-down menu on the board.
Budget Lines
Budget lines are used to define a budget for the project. This budget can be adjusted by adding a new entry with an effective date.
Cost Breakdown
Based on the subtask time tracking table and user information you can see the cost of each subtask.
The time spent is rounded to the nearest quarter.
Budget Chart
Finally, by combining all information we can generate a graph:
- Expenses represent user costs
- Budget lines are the provisioned budget
- Remaining is the budget left at the given time
Hourly Rate
Each user can have a pre-defined hourly rate. This feature is used for budget calculation.
To define a new price, go to User profile > Hourly rates.
Each hourly rate can have an effective date and different currencies.
