FAQs
Why can’t I click the Add Billing Rate button?
This button is faded out and cannot be clicked if all system rates have already been included in the project, so there are none left to add.
If I add a rate that used to be assigned, will its assignments be re-enabled, too?
You can remove or re-add rates to a project at any time. Any rates you re-add will not be assigned to users.
If I update the value of a rate in a project, will that affect its system-level value?
No. The system-level values can only be changed on the Administration > Projects > Billing Rates page. Any change you make to a rate applies only to the project where you made that change.
