  • Deleting Tasks, Stages, Jobs, and Projects
    To prevent accidental deletion of data, TrafficLIVE requires data to be deleted from the bottom up.
  • Stages
    Tasks can optionally sit within a stage. Other than a name, a stage has no attributes; it is a sum of the tasks.
  • Work Hours
    When used correctly, work hours give you good visibility of where you are with each job.
  • When Work Enters the Workflow - Approval Status
    The approval status of a piece of work indicates when that work enters the workflow.
  • Billing Jobs
    TrafficLIVE supports billing in advance and in arrears, and the issuing of multiple invoices on a single job.
  • Realization
    The concept of realization is to compare the recoverable amount for a piece of work against what it should be worth to you. This is a widely used measure in organizations that sell time, and is also known as recovery rate.
  • Calculating Percent Complete and Percent Risk
    Percent complete uses all of the information that TrafficLIVE knows to determine how complete a job actually is. Percent risk indicates the extent to which the figure that is produced as the percentage complete is reliable.
  • Fees when Adding Users
    Giving additional permissions to a user can affect how you are billed for that user.
