What is a project?
A project is a job or building site you manage in Swift Checkin. Workers check in and out at the project's site locations.
What a project is
- A job or building site, with a name, project number, start and end dates, value, currency, time zone and status.
- Every project gets one site location when it's created. This is the place you choose on the map when you set the project up.
- A site location (sometimes called a Gate) can only be added after its project exists. You can add more site locations to the same project later.
What a project holds
- Details: the project's main information and its site locations.
- Companies: the companies working on the project, and their workers.
- Members: the Project Team, the people who can manage the project, and their roles.
- Documents: files saved against the project, such as plans or permits.
- Discussion: a message thread for the project (marked Beta).
Project status
- Active: work is under way.
- Pending: the project hasn't started yet.
- Completed: the work is finished.
- Delayed: the project is running behind.
Good to know
- The All Projects list shows only Active projects at first. Change the Status filter to see the others.
- Budgets and crew schedules are set up against a project that already exists.
- To set one up, see How do I create a project?
