# Add contacts, locations and project managers

> The project Overview tab holds the customer, job-site location, customer contacts and project managers. Fill these in before scheduling so work orders, dispatch routes and invoices inherit the right people and address.

## Steps

1. Open the project and stay on the Overview tab.
2. Click Edit on the project header to change the customer, job site location or description.
3. Confirm the Location card shows the address the crew should drive to.
4. Add or update customer contacts and mark the primary contact.
5. Assign up to two project managers under Project Managers.
6. Add the customer PO number in the Customer POs card when you receive it.
7. Save, then check the Activity tab to confirm the change was recorded.

## Why this belongs on the project, not the work order

Location, contacts and owners are project-level records. Every work order created under the project inherits them, so fixing them once on the project fixes them everywhere downstream — schedules get the right site address, and invoices get the right billing contact.

## Job-site location

The job site defaults to the customer location. Set a distinct **Job Site Address** when the crew is working somewhere else — a tenant suite, a second building, a remote yard. The address shown on the Overview tab is what the field team sees for navigation.

## Customer contacts

Contacts are the people your crew and office actually call: a facilities manager, a site superintendent, an accounts payable clerk. Each contact carries a role, an email and a phone number, and appears in the **Customer Contacts** card on Overview. Mark the day-to-day contact as primary so dispatch knows who to call first.

## Project managers (owners)

A project can carry up to **two project managers**. Owners:

- appear on the Projects list in the Owner column,
- drive the **Projects by Owner** widget on the dashboard,
- are required before a project can be set to Approved.

## Customer POs and internal notes

The Overview tab also holds **Customer POs** — add the PO number as soon as the customer issues it, so invoices reference it — and **Internal Notes**, which are for your team only and are not shared with the customer.

## FAQ

### How many project managers can a project have?

Up to two. Both appear on the Projects list and in the Projects by Owner dashboard widget.

### The crew is going to a different address than the customer's office. What do I change?

Set a separate Job Site Address on the project. Do not overwrite the customer record — that address is used for billing.

### Are internal notes visible to the customer?

No. Internal notes stay inside your organisation. Anything the customer should see belongs on documents you explicitly share or on the invoice.

### Where do customer contacts show up?

On the project Overview tab and on the work orders created under that project, so dispatch and field staff can reach the right person from the job record.
