When selecting Employees for a bid proposal or deciding which project experience to include in a resume document, it's useful to understand how much time Employees have spent working on a project. This can help you tailor employee resumes to suit the specific bids that you are working on.

Project roles include an 'hours' field, where this information can be stored. Hours can be entered manually in OpenAsset, or you can pull this information from CRM or ERP systems such as Deltek Vantagepoint. Get in touch with us to learn more about configuring an integration. Note: the hours field is not compatible with Deltek Vision.
