FAQ

How do I customize the project types for my specific freelance niche?

You can easily customize project types by editing the “Project Type” select field in the Projects Database. Click on the field header, select “Edit property,” and add or remove options that match your services. For example, if you’re a content writer, you might add “Blog Posts,” “Social Media Content,” “Email Campaigns,” etc.

Can I track multiple projects for the same client simultaneously?

Absolutely! The template is designed to handle multiple projects per client. Each project in the Projects Database can be linked to the same client, and you’ll be able to see all projects for a specific client in the client detail view. This makes it easy to manage ongoing relationships with high-value clients.

How do I handle recurring clients or retainer agreements?

For recurring clients, you can create separate projects for each month or quarter, or create a single ongoing project and use the Tasks Database to break down monthly deliverables. For retainer agreements, set the “Contract Value” to the total retainer amount and create monthly invoice entries to track payments.
