How to Use Projects as a Provider?

This article provides information about using projects as a provider.


Projects help you organize ongoing work with your clients. You can use a separate project board for each client and manage tasks using a Kanban-style workflow.

Open Projects

To access Projects:

  1. Make sure you are in the Provider View.

  2. Open Workspace.

  3. Select Projects.

The Projects page displays your client project boards in one location. To enter a particular client's project, click Open Board.

Understand the Kanban Board

Project boards are organized into Kanban lists. The standard workflow includes:

  • Backlog

  • To Do

  • In Progress

  • In Review

  • Blocked

  • Done

These stages help you see the current status of work at a glance.

Create a Task

To create a task:

  1. Find the appropriate Kanban list.

  2. Click Add Task.

  3. Enter the task information.

You can create the task quickly and add more details later if necessary.

Edit Task Details

Click a task to open its detail view. From here, you can configure several options.

Priority

Set the priority to indicate how important the task is.

Assignee

A task can be assigned to:

  • Yourself

  • Your client

  • Another team member

This helps make responsibilities clear.

Due Date

You can add a deadline to the task. Task due dates are also reflected in the relevant calendar, helping you keep project deadlines connected to the rest of your schedule.

Use Task Comments

At the bottom of the task, you can write comments and view comments from your client.

This allows project-related discussions to remain connected to the task instead of becoming scattered across different communication channels.

Add Checklist Items

Tasks can contain checklist items. Use these when a larger task contains several smaller steps that need to be completed.

Attach Files

You can also attach files directly to a task. This makes it easier to keep documents and other materials connected to the work they relate to.

Automatic Saving

When you finish editing a task, you can close it. The information you entered is saved automatically.

Search for Tasks

Use the search bar on the project board to quickly find a particular task. This becomes especially useful when a project contains a large number of items.

View Project Activity

The activity section lets you review what has been happening inside the project.

You can use it to keep track of changes and recent actions.

Review Project Metrics

Open the Metrics tab to view information about project performance. This section can provide insight into both provider and client activity within the project.

By using Projects consistently, you can keep tasks, deadlines, files, comments, and client responsibilities organized in one place.
