Project Tracking and Reporting Overview

Flex users can now manage a project list in a dedicated, standalone area within the Control Panel. Once projects are added to Flex, they can be associated to equipment profiles, employee profiles, and added as select fields within Forms. Users can leverage filtering to see what equipment and/or employee is associated to what project as well as filter form responses by specific projects.
