Working as a Team?
Working as a Team?
If you are working in a team, you can add teammates. You can invite only those who need access to the dashboard and use a time tracker.
You can give full admin access to other users as well. This is helpful for business partners.
Adding Clients
Adding Clients
For each client, you can add their representatives and invite them to the workspace, optionally. Once a client contact accepts the invite, they will be able to view all issued invoices and timesheets (if you allow them to view them).
Inviting clients is not necessary. You can still send invoices via email or by sharing its URL.
Creating Projects

Configure payment methods that are available to your clients to pay for invoices. All payments proceed directly to you, and Edens is not involved in this process, so we don’t charge any fees.

Creating Invoices
Creating Invoices
Experiment with invoices by creating one and adding some items. You can delete the invoice before it is issued.
You can bill tracked time and get a timesheet with a detailed view. This might be shared with a client as you wish.
An invoice is created in draft status. Once you are ready to share it with the client, you need to issue it.
