For this client, enter all the administrative and leave jobs(projects) that your staff may use, and any jobs that you would like to track time against.
Abtrac Job/Project Templates aka Proposals, Fee Estimates, and Mail Merge Documents allow you to create templates that contain information from Abtrac such as client, job/project and task details that can be intertwined with other information, such as your proposals or mail merge type documents.
How it works is you create the different report types that you use i.e. proposal, letter of engagement etc., and within those reports, you add different sections with the required information.

The installation of this will allow you to easily manage and access these files from within Abtrac and the Job/Project itself.
