ZCOPE Tip: Internal and external hourly rate

Normally employees are set against two different hourly rates, an internal and an external rate:

• The internal rate are the costs that the employee causes internally per hour.
• The external rate are the price that the client is charged for this employee‘s work.

Both values are pulled up for the calculation of the manpower costs on the basis of the time tracking. For this, both rates must be given for all project members.

ZCOPE Tip: Extended settings

Not every team member should have access to all information resp. the right to write. E.g. trainees should be able to see tasks but shouldn‘t be authorised to create new ones: they get reading rights for this section but the writing rights will be deactivated.

Extended settings can be defined for the following areas:

• Tasks
• Time tracking
• Dates
• Budgets
• Documents
• Project blog

These settings can be determined for all project members, no matter if internal or not. The latter by default have fewer rights – this can be changed with the extended rights.
