Ensure adoption of company Categorization standards on all Join projects
Company administrators can create a customized set of standard Categorizations that will be included as default Categorizations on all new company projects and can be retroactively applied to existing projects. |
Available only to Company Administrators |
Benefits of Standardized Categorizations
- Consistency across projects: Standard categorizations will help with the organization of data, which provides consistency internally to other project stakeholders that desire a standardized way of viewing information.
- Streamlined project setup: Since standard Categorizations are automatically included on all new projects, this will reduce the amount of time it takes to get up and running. You can also include them in your company's project template.
- Fewer import errors: When you use the work breakdown structures used in your estimating platform to create your standard categorizations, all of your codes should match when importing, resulting in fewer errors.
- Comparing historical data: Utilizing consistent categorizations across all projects will make it simple to align costs when creating a Project Comparisons report.
