Tracking Hours and Expenses on Project Task page layout
Salesforce page layouts are the user interface for your working business, and our free project management app Milestones PM+ can be customized to improve data visibility and user productivity. Being 100% Salesforce-native means Project records, like Task and Resource, and non-Project records, like Product and Case, are seamlessly compatible for lookups, reporting, and charts. No matter how you use projects in Salesforce –
- Service Cloud: Cases on Tasks and Solutions on Milestones
- Sales Cloud: Tasks based on Contacts, Products on Milestones, and Opportunity on Project
- Marketing Cloud: Content Alignments on Tasks and Content on Milestones
– Milestones PM+ pages can be tailored for any use case.
This will be completed in Object Manager, of which step 3 will redirect to Lightning App Builder.
