 This document is created if you have employees or contractors that use Dingo to track time spent on tasks and projects. Here are three popular reasons why some care about keeping track of time:
a.) Often projects have budgets. How much time you spend on tasks is critical to project management.
b.) Time is money. An accurate trail of who said/did what, when and why is critical to client management. Accurate invoicing with supporting detail is always a good thing.
b.) Recurring Tasks. In any environment where tasks repeat, it’s often useful to know how long something takes. This is especially true in a volunteer-based organization where people want to know how much time commitment is required to complete a task.

A project is a collection of tasks. Tasks are collection of comments and comments with attachments.
In the course of a project it's common to attach a few files to a task item. However, a project can be made up from 100 tasks, so a project can easily end up with 100+ files. In Dingo, you have (potentially) two ways to get to your files.
As a project manager, you will have a Files option in your control panel. When you click this you will see all files for all tasks/projects. (even those task items that have been closed)

When Does Dingo Notify Members/Managers? |
 |
 |
 |
|
Email notifications go out for these three conditions:
1. A new project is created. Each time someone is assigned, they will receive something like the image below (click Read More to see it)
2. A new task is created. All resource members *on that task* will receive notification that that it exists
3. A new comment is made against a task. All resource members *on that task* will receive notification
A user can elect to not be notified by setting their status to Do Not Disturb in their Dingo profile. By default, notify is on (LOW or above) for all Dingo members/managers.
During conditions 2 & 3 ... the reason everyone on the project does not get notification is because at a task-level, they are not yet involved. If they care about a task, then can self-add to the task or anyone else on that project can do it for them. e.g., If you are working on a task and need help from someone else in your group, you can add them as a resource and as long as they have notify=ON in their profile, they will start getting type 2 and 3 notifications.
Remember adding someone to a project gives them permission to view/contribute on all tasks for that project. It does not mean they are required to do so.
