View "Day" values for daily rate charges
For companies that bill projects with daily rates, it is often helpful to see a display of the actual number of days that have been billed as well as the hours that were generated from time entries. In this release, we have added the ability for users to customize list views to display "Day" values. These list views include the project, task, create billings, project billing transactions, project outline view, and charges list views. In addition, if "Days" is displayed, the "Hours" column will be populated with the hours generated from time entries in the charges and project billing transaction list views.
To display the day value in a list view, users with the appropriate role privileges navigate to a list and click on the "Customize list view" link. Add "Days" or "Days-Billed".
There are several ways in which companies can bill by day and create daily rate charges. To enable the ability to define daily rates for billing rules, please contact OpenAir Support.
