#### Views

Change between list and timeline view.

The list view is th default one, showing projects and phases as described above.

The timeline view, showcases each project on a timeline, with it's associated phases below.

### Finance columns

In list view you can add optional finance columns to see budget, time and profitability for every project at a glance, without opening each one.

Open the **Display** menu and toggle the columns you want. They are hidden by default, and each column is only calculated for the projects currently shown, so the list stays fast.

Available columns:

* **Time budget** – the project's time budget.
* **Allocated** – total time allocated to the project's tasks.
* **Unallocated** – time budget minus allocated.
* **Logged** – total time logged against the project.
* **Unlogged** – time budget minus logged.
* **Invoice budget** – the project's financial budget.
* **Invoiced** – amount invoiced on the project.
* **Unbilled** – invoice budget minus invoiced.
* **External expenses** – expenses booked to the project.
* **Labor cost** – cost of the time worked on the project.
* **Profit (invoiced)** – invoiced amount minus labor cost and expenses.
* **Profit (worked)** – value of the work done minus labor cost and expenses.
* **Billing rate** – effective sell rate on billable time (`billable hours × assignment rate ÷ hours sold`).
* **Cost per hour sold** – cost of delivery divided by billable hours.
* **Gross margin** – profit (worked) as a percentage of the work's value.

The same finance columns are available on the projects list inside a [customer](/docs/customers/customer).

> [!NOTE]
>
> Budget columns are shown in the project's budget currency; invoiced, cost and
> profit amounts are shown in your workspace currency. When a project's budget
> currency differs from the workspace currency, budget-versus-actual columns are
> not directly comparable.

For how labor cost, profit and margin are calculated, see [Profitability](/docs/finance/profitability). Billing rate, cost per hour sold, and hours sold are defined in the [metric catalogue](/docs/dashboards/metric-catalogue).
