3. Import People & Roles via CSV
Follow the instructions in this Help article: Import People & Roles via CSV.
4. Add role charge-out rates/costs
Go to Manage > Roles, here you should see the roles you have imported to Runn.
Add the charge-out rate and the cost for each role. These will serve as a default for all your people with that role.
Note: If you are only using Runn for resource management and scheduling, you do not need to add rates for your people.
Runn also uses the rates to provide forecasts for any placeholders you have scheduled.
5. Set up rate cards (optional)
Go to Manage > Rates to set up your rate cards.
You can have multiple rate cards for your different customers and projects. Projects get created with the standard rate card by default.
When you add a new rate card, you can also choose whether to set it up using hourly or daily rates, and using a blended/single rate or per-role rates.
6. Importing Clients & Projects via CSV
