Knowledge Base

Activities (or actuals) are the line items associated with a job request.  Examples may include, but are not limited to, standard interpreting, mileage, after hours, cancellation, etc. 

Activities are set by authorized admins, which include rate overrides that are then associated with job assignments for invoice and payment processing.  The activities then serve as individual line items for invoicing purposes.

Activities can be managed from Maintain Activities under the Administration menu.
