Advanced Project Settings
=========================
Projects can be created for a specific customer or team, and can be coordinated among your
employees through visibility options. Stages can be shared among tasks, and the exact time spent on
each project can be tracked. All of it in favor of a more integrated and dynamic organization.
Create advanced projects
========================
| Go to :menuselection:`Project --> Configuration --> Projects --> Create`.
| Choose a *Customer* in order to create a project specifically for him. If not, simply leave the

Choose who can access a project
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To create a project for specific teams, under *Visibility*, choose who can have access to the
project:
- *Invited employees*: the ones who are followers (see :doc:`../tasks/collaborate`)
- *All employees*.
- *Portal users and all employees*: it enables the option *Share*. Recipients receive an
email with an invitation to access the document (project).
Choose an *Analytic Account* to track the profitability of your project in a specific account.
Timesheet and record time on tasks

Track Projects Profitability
=============================
A project runs smoother if you can have an overview of its costs, revenues, profitability, tasks,
time and people, all in the same place. It allows you to make smarter business decisions as you know
where you are standing and can course-correct if needed.
Track costs and revenue
=======================
If you have the Timesheets application installed
------------------------------------------------
Go to :menuselection:`Project --> Configuration --> Projects`, choose the respective project,
*Edit* and enable *Timesheets*. A menu *Overview* becomes available in the Kanban view.
.. image:: media/timesheet_instaled.png

The overview shows the hours recorded split by the different billable options, profitability, time
by people according to the billable hours recorded, and even a timesheet table.

*Manager Users* and enable *Analytic Accounting*. Now, go to :menuselection:`Project -->
Configuration --> Projects` and specify an *Analytic Account* under the needed project.
| A *Profitability* menu to the costs and revenues of this analytic account is directly available
in the Kanban view.

Create Projects and Tasks from Sales Orders
===========================================
When you sell your services, you can choose to automatically have a project/task created, helping
you to not lose track of the work that needs to get done, streamlining the processes between teams.
In addition to that, you are able to invoice or reinvoice clients according to the exact time
spent on that service.
Product set up
==============
| Under :menuselection:`Sales --> Products --> Products` create a new product or set up an existing
one. Under *General Information* set the *Product Type* as *Service*. Under the *Sales* tab select
the *Service Invoicing Policy* and *Service Tracking*.
| If you choose to:
| - *Create a task in an existing project*: a task is added in the first column of the selected
project.
| - *Create a task in sales orders project*: a new project for each sales order of that service is
created based on the template you have chosen.
| - *Create a new project but no task*: only creates a new project, for each time that service is
sold, based on the skeleton of the project template chosen.

| Open your project and add as many columns as there are stages in your project.
| Each project stage can be characterized by a distinct set of activities, or your stages can guide
you to the different steps a project has to go through. It is important to set them right as they
lead you from the first idea or step to its conclusion, contributing to the overall success
of your project.

Break down a project by creating, assigning and organizing tasks. Set priorities to help you

need to complete your work in one place. Ensure that your strategies are turned into actionable
plans and, as a result, have a successful project.
Create a task
=============
Click on *Create*. Once created, add more details opening it and clicking on *Edit*.

| Mark the star on your task to set it as a high priority one. That automatically moves the task
to the top of the column. Tasks that are not starred are classified according to their
deadlines.
| Note that tasks with dates passed their deadlines are shown in red; tasks with a deadline for
the current date are orange.

===================
Work with Sub-tasks
===================
Being a dynamic and organized company is important as it also helps you to not overload your
employees. For that, split large tasks into smaller ones by creating subs-tasks, timesheet
on them, and have an overview of all hours recorded.
Configuration
=============
Go to :menuselection:`Project --> Configuration --> Settings --> Sub-tasks`.
.. image:: media/config.png
:align: center
:alt: Enable the feature under settings in Odoo Project
From now on, a *Sub-tasks* menu is available within your task.
.. image:: media/sub_task_menu.png
:align: center
:alt: Overview of a task and the sub-tasks menu being shown in Odoo Project
Select a specific project in which sub-tasks will be created by default
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
By default, sub-tasks are created under the same project. However, you can select another one
by going to :menuselection:`Project --> Configuration --> Projects --> Sub-task Project`.
.. image:: media/specific_project.png
:align: center
:alt: Under the settings of a project, select the sub-task project in Odoo Project
Timesheet on sub-tasks
======================
Make sure the feature *Timesheets* is enabled under :menuselection:`Project --> Configuration -->
Settings` and under the settings of the needed *Project*. Now you are able to timesheet on your
tasks and sub-tasks. The time recorded on a sub-task is counted on the parent task.

Transform an existing task into a sub-task
==========================================
| Go to :menuselection:`Settings --> Activate the developer mode`.
| Now access your task, *Edit*, and add a *Parent Task*.

Unlink a sub-task from a parent task
====================================
| Go to :menuselection:`Settings --> Activate the developer mode`.
| Open and *Edit* the respective sub-task to remove the *Parent Task*.
