• Upon selecting the ‘Project Type’ option, a table with the following information will be displayed on the page for the admin to define a unique project code for each project type. 

  • Project Type: Shows the project types in the system. 

  • Prefix: Allows the admin to enter a ‘prefix’ for the project code. ‘Prefix’ will act as the first set of code used for project codes.

  • Suffix: Allows the admin to enter a ‘suffix’ for the project code. ‘Suffix’ will act as the last set of code used for project codes.

  • Start Number: Allows the admin to enter a start number to kick off the auto number, which will automatically increment when new projects of the respective project type are being created. 

• For example, if the admin does the following configurations for the project type ‘Major Projects’, the projects of that type will have a project code such as “MP-1-20/21”. 

  • Prefix: MP-

  • Suffix: -20/21

  • Start Number: 1

• The system will assign the following default values for each project type. Admin can change the default configurations, if needed.  

  • Prefix: The first letters of each word in the name of the project type will be capitalized and be set as the prefix. For example, prefix for the project type ‘Major Projects’ will be “MP”. If there are project types that have the same first letters in their names, a number will automatically be added next to the prefix to make the prefix for the respective project type unique.

  • Suffix: “-“ followed by the current reporting year (i.e. “-20/21”) will be set as the suffix 

  • Start Number: “1” will be the set as the start number.

• When you create a new project, the system will automatically assign a code for that project based on the ‘Prefix’, ‘Suffix’ and ‘Start Number’ configured for the respective project type from Project Settings> Project Code. 

Please contact Camms Support, if you wish to apply the above feature to the existing projects. 

• An Export option is now available on Time Entry Summary page, allowing you to easily export information on to a Microsoft Excel file.
