About Field Values

We’ll briefly describe what you can do with the five Field Value categories:

  • Project Type: Add values, like consulting or advertising, in order to classify your projects on the Project Dashboard.
  • Contact Type: Create values like “senior accountant” or “lead media contact” to add more information about your contacts.
  • Team Role: Identify the different positions on your team, such as creative director or production assistant, with this category. Then, when you assign staffers to a project, you can identify their specific role.
  • Staff Dept: Staffers are assigned to a Department. Then, a staffer can be granted management authority over a department or departments in their User Rights. You can also assign a default role for each staffer on their staff profile. Their default role will automatically populate when adding them to a project team.
  • Credit Card: Enter your company credit cards, so staffers can log create credit card expenses entries in BigTime. 
  • Location: This field is used for the Credit Card Upload feature. If you’re uploading a credit card statement, then you can map to a Location field to specify where the expense was purchased. Location will also populate if manually entering in a credit card expense.
  • Merchant: This field is also utilized for the Credit Card upload. If you’re uploading a credit card statement, then you can map to a Merchant field to specify the place where the expense was purchased. Merchant will also populate if manually entering in a credit card expense.
