Although Project Categories is an optional setting, we recommend that Office Admins define Project Categories beforehand in order to track what type of business you handle where you may be losing business. This is handy for Project Managers for reporting purposes and may help improve their sales strategy.
Have a think about what your business offers and can offer and what your customers usually book or request. Office Admins can name the category options themselves. Here are some examples of common project categories:
Flight only
Accommodation only
Meeting
Incentive
Conference
Event
Package
Registration form only
If you decide to enable project categories, Project Managers will be prompted to choose one of these options when creating their project.
If you choose not to define Project Categories, this option will not be visible to Project Managers when creating and editing projects.
FIND PROJECT CATEGORIES
Just head to Office --> Project Categories.
CREATE, EDIT, OR DEACTIVATE PROJECT CATEGORIES
Create
See the image below for where to create new project categories. Fill in the name of the category in the white box and click add.
Edit
Edit existing categories by clicking the name of the category.
Deactivate
You can deactivate categories if they are no longer required, by clicking the red symbol.
Note:
If deactivated these categories will not be available for selection in new projects.
On existing projects that use a deactivated category, deactivated categories remain visible in the drop-down in project settings, with "(Deactivated)" next to it.
If a category is not in use, Qondor will simply delete it instead of deactivating it.
Reporting: The category is still available on the projects which use the categories in Qondor and in the APIs.
💡 Good to know: Use the filter 'Active/All' to view all items, including deactivated.
So you see, it's simple to set up and manage, and can be very helpful for your business!
