Manager, Collaborator, and Label Defined

What is a Manager?

A manager is any individual invited to the TeamGantt account by email address and designated with manager permission. The benefits of inviting an individual as a manager include: 

  • Create projects 
  • Invite collaborators
  • Configure project settings
  • Add, name, schedule, and edit tasks 
  • Optional account admin status to manage billing and add/remove managers

If you're a manager and want to see an accurate count of users within your account, go to: Account Settings (click your profile a the bottom of the sidebar) > Manage users.

What is a Collaborator?

Collaborators are users who can be invited to your projects. Benefits include:

  • No limit on how many projects they can be invited to
  • Able to update % completion for tasks they are assigned to
  • Able to update checklist items for tasks they are assigned to
  • Able to comment and upload/download documentation
  • Can track time to tasks
  • Receive notifications and comment mentions 

If you're a manager and want to see an accurate count of collaborators within your account, go to:  Account Settings (from the circle icon at the upper right-hand corner of TeamGantt) > Manage users. 

What is a label?

A label (formerly known as a 'resource') is a tag added to projects for organizational or scheduling purposes. Here are just a few ways you can use labels to tag tasks in your projects:

  • Team/department responsible (Example: Marketing team)
  • Job role responsible (Example: Web designer)
  • Freelance/contract resource responsible (Example: Freelance writer)
  • Client/company name that the task pertains to (Example: Acme Inc.)
  • Project phase or sprint that the task belongs to (Example: Design phase)
  • Priority level of a task (Example: Urgent)

Unlike a user, a label used in place of a person (i.e., Web designer) will not have access to the project in TeamGantt. And since a label isn't associated with an email address, it also won't receive email notifications.

To view existing labels or to add a label to your project, simply go to the People tab > Labels:

All paid subscription plans allow you to add an unlimited number of labels to your projects!
