Set Up Account/Organization Links Subtask
Use this subtask to set up project/account/organization combinations using wildcard features.
This provides a quick way to link account/organization combinations with a newly created project. Once created, these linkages represent the valid combinations that can be charged on this project.
You can also use this subtask to create combinations individually by selecting highlighted items. Use wildcards to delete links in this screen as well. You must complete this subtask only if the Limit Which Orgs Can Charge Specific Accts checkbox is selected on the main screen.
When you create project/account/organization combinations in this screen, they are automatically saved. You can next go to the Mass Link Projects/Accounts/Organizations screen to review them. You can complete additional mass linkages there. You can also select or de-select individual combinations. Additionally, the Link Projects/Accounts/Organizations screen can provide another alternative to create project/account/organization combinations, though this screen does not have the capability to create en masse.
In all, there are three ways to create or delete project/account/organization combinations. This gives you the flexibility to ensure that only the correct combinations are valid for your projects.
You should assign the account/organization immediately after you enter the project. This subtask is not active until you save the project. If additional account/organizations are required after initial setup, use this screen or the Mass Link Projects/Accounts/Organizations or the Link Projects/Accounts/Organizations screens, depending on your preference.
