Open Projects, select the project, then choose Phases. Company users read the plan made available by their MSP. MSP staff use the same reader controls and may have additional editing actions.

Find the work

1

Check the available view

Projects with phases show a phase table. Projects with several tasks but no formal phases can show Project Tasks directly. A project with no phases and at most one ticket normally uses the simpler Overview instead. MSP native-project editors can still have Phases on an empty plan.
2

Expand a phase

Select a phase row with a chevron and ticket count to expand its tickets; select it again to collapse. Indented phase rows show the plan’s parent/child grouping. Unphased Tickets, when present, lists tickets without an assigned phase.
3

Read the ticket row

Review ID, Ticket, Status, Owner, Schedule, and available Hours. A faded, crossed-out ticket with a green check is closed. Not set for Owner means no owner is displayed. The row’s title and ID are labels, not links to the support-ticket conversation.
4

Expand additional details when available

Use the small expand control beside the ticket title for available custom fields or time details. Its presence does not guarantee time records exist. Field access, project settings, account type, and available data determine what appears.
On smaller screens the phase table hides Schedule and Progress; nested ticket rows also hide Owner. Use a wider window to read those columns. A missing column is not proof the underlying value is absent.

Sort phases

Use Sort phases and tasks, initially PSA order, above the phase table: This menu was captured in the MSP Demo view. Sorting changes the displayed order; it does not save a new plan order or change dates in the connected system. Parent/child phase grouping is retained. The direct Project Tasks table uses its own column sorting and filters instead. Use Ticket or ID text filters, Status or Owner selectors, the Schedule date filter, or the Hours range where available. Its Schedule filter uses the start date, falling back to the end date; it does not search every day spanned by a task. Summary cards describe the supplied tasks and do not recalculate for these table filters.

Interpret status and progress

Company hours depend on what the MSP shares. Some current displays show 0h when hours are unavailable to your account. Zero or missing values alone do not establish that no work has occurred. Ask your MSP to explain unexpected totals or stale information.

Time details and Company access

MSP staff can expand supported tickets to read available time history: Date, Person, Duration, Type, Notes, and Billable. Hover over shortened text to read its tooltip. Load more appears when another page of history is available. Check data flags records whose total hours are zero; it is not a successful time audit. Company users should not expect access to this detailed ticket-history view. A 0 time entries result can reflect access restrictions even when shared summary hours exist. Ask your MSP for the appropriate progress or time summary. A billable label is not an invoice or confirmation of payment. MSP staff can use phase and ticket action menus.

FAQs

Your MSP may not have enabled it, the project may lack the required phase/task data, or a small project may use Overview. Ask the MSP to check access and display settings; Company users do not change their own permissions.
Expansion requires available inline tickets. A phase can show status without exposing its tickets, because status and ticket visibility are separate. Look for the chevron and count; ask your MSP if work appears missing.
No. In the phase table it measures hours used against the estimate. Check Complete status and the underlying tickets separately. The direct Project Tasks Completion bar instead counts closed tasks.
An open associated ticket can make the phase In Progress. Hours may also be missing, unshared, or not yet synchronized. Zero displayed hours does not prove the phase has not started.
No. Sorting only changes this display. It does not move a ticket between phases, reschedule it, or rewrite the source plan.
The summary describes the tasks supplied to the view. Column filters narrow the direct Project Tasks table, not those summary cards.
The nested ticket table hides Owner at smaller widths and Schedule on small screens. Widen the view before assuming the value is missing.
Do not assume so. The detailed ticket-history view is restricted; a zero-entry result can reflect access, not an absence of work. Ask your MSP for a shared summary.
