Navigation and visibility
You can open the billing management page selecting the “Billing” item from the left sidebar.
By default, anyone can view the billing management page, and the contained settings as well, but only users with a new permission type will be allowed to change the defaults.
Only users who have the “Permission to manage global and project-specific billing settings” app permission will be able to configure the defaults.
Global default billing option
You can see a “Default billing option” configuration here, which determines if every new worklog will be created as billable or non-billable by default. This is currently set so that all new worklogs are non-billable by default, but this can be changed based on your organization’s needs.
Project default billing option
The default billing status of a worklog can also be controlled on a project level. In that case, a new worklog’s default billing status will be set according the the selected Issue that belongs to one of the configured projects. For any other project, the global “Default billing option” configuration will apply.
You can also see your project based configurations in three separate tabs:
Default Billable: Here all configured projects will be listed and can be modified, that are billable by deafult.
Default Non-billable: Here all configured projects will be listed and can be modified, that are non-billable by deafult.
All: All configured projects will be listed here.
To configure a new project, simply click on the “New project settings” button on the top right corner, select the project and the default billing option. It is recommended to select and configure projects that are fewer and different than the global defult option.
It’s important to note, that none of the defaults are restrictive. These settings only control the billing option’s default state, but any user can change the option at any time on any worklog.
