Each project requires a Project Manager, a team of additional contacts is optional. You can add further people to a project or job so that they receive notifications and get involved with the online project collaboration.
Brightpearl will allow you to set one or more clients for a project if you require so that multiple staff members in your client’s company can follow project progress, or perhaps you want to invoice to a number of different clients in one project.
Each member of the project can be set with different permissions.
Adding Team Members (Staff or Clients)
- Search for and open the project.
- Select Overview on the project menu bar.
- In the People information box on the right-hand side click the Add a team member link.
- Enter the person's name in the search box, untick the Staff only checkbox to include contacts other than staff members in the search.
- Click Search.
- Tick the checkbox next to each person to add.
- Click Add selected users at the bottom.
Each person will be added as a member and listed in the People information box.
Make a Team Member Admin
You can make some team members administrators by clicking the checkbox in the admin column on their row. Only administrators can see the summary page and can add team members.
Notifications
You can ensure each team member receives notifications of job and activity changes and updates by switching it on at Setup > Tasks/Activities > Activity defaults.
Notifications are sent via email and SMS (if a mobile number exists for the contact) using the Event Updates template.
