Follow your project on the Timeline
After you hire, every stage, update, approval and file of your project lives on one shared Timeline.
For clients
Open your project and choose Timeline. Only you, the professional and the people you invite can see it.
What you'll see
- The stages of your project, with the current stage and what's coming up.
- Cards: updates, ideas and references, meetings, decisions, changes, issues and snags. You can add cards too.
- Needs you: everything waiting for your answer.
- Project files, and Fees, where a quotation waits for your approval.
Answering a card
When something needs your answer it shows Needs your answer. Open it and choose:
- Approve, to agree.
- Ask for changes, and say what should change.
- Decline.
For a decision, pick one of the options, or None of these.
Closing a stage
When a stage is done, the professional asks you to close it. Choose Review and close, then Approve and close the stage, or Decline.
When the project is finished
Approving the final stage completes the project. The final files stay with it.
You'll then be asked How was working with them? Choose Leave a review: a rating, what stood out, a title and a few words about the work. Apture checks every review before it appears on the professional's profile.
