Project Default Setting

 

If a Client has more than one Project you may select individually which Projects are available to be viewed on the ClientConnect website.

This default is controlled within the Project - Defaults tab. The Show on Client Connect box is selected by default.

Once you have Updated your ClientConnect you will notice a new symbol on the House Icon project house icon for each of the Projects associated with the Client. This means they are setup as a ClientConnect Project.
