Customizing work activities offers many advantages:
- Transparent time recording: by clearly assigning time bookings to specific activities, resource utilization can be monitored more efficiently.
- Flexibility: Companies can define their own activities that correspond to their individual processes.
- Reporting: Detailed time reports help to track costs and workload for different projects and activities more accurately.
