Each project in Ruddr has a status. The six options for a project’s status are:
  • Tentative
  • Not Started
  • In Progress
  • Paused
  • Completed
  • Cancelled
These options get set (Figure 1) in the Overview section of the project’s Settings tab. In order to edit a project, you must have access to the project and also have the Edit project permission set on your security role.

It is important that the project manager or another team member with sufficient privileges keep the project status up to date. When all work on a project has been finished, the status should be moved to Completed. If a project is set to Paused or Completed and you no longer want time or expenses to be added or edited for the project, turn on the Lock time and expenses option (Figure 2) in the Overview section of the Settings tab.

The Tentative status can be helpful to plan for projects not fully confirmed, but should still be visible for planning purposes. Utilizing tentative projects will provide a few benefits:
  • Allocations on a tentative project will display with diagonal striped treatment in the allocations grid.
  • Plan for capacity without assigning people as project team members.
