In the left-side navigation, click the dropdown menu 2. In the dropdown menu, select the name of the project that you want to see the settings for 3. In the left-side navigation, click **Project settings** 4. Under *PROJECT SETTINGS*, click **Default settings** If you make any changes to project *Default* settings, be sure to click the **Save changes** button before leaving the page. ## Default settings options The following project defaults can be set: ### Time rounding for non-union timecards - Click the dropdown menu to select how time on non-union timecards should be rounded when calculating payroll: *Closest 15 minutes, Closest 6 minutes,* or *Closest 1 minute* ### Set a default invite message With Wrapbook, you can save a **default invite message** at the project level. When this setting is turned on and a message is saved, the message automatically appears in the invitation compose field every time you invite a worker to that project — so you don't have to write or paste the same onboarding note every time. - You can still edit or personalize the message on a per-invite basis before sending. The default is a starting point, not a lock. - By default this setting is toggled off on projects. In order to use this feature you'll need to toggle on the default invite message in the project's settings. - When a default message has been set for a project, turning the toggle off preserves the saved message but stops adding it to project worker invitations #### How to set a default invite message 1. In the left-side navigation, click the dropdown menu and select the project 2. In the left-side navigation, click **Project settings** 3. In the PROJECT SETTINGS submenu, click **Default settings** 4. In the *Configure your default settings* view, scroll down until you see *Default invite message* and then click to toggle on *Use default invite message* 5. In the text field below the toggle, enter the message you want to appear by default on worker invitations for this project 6. Click the **Save changes** button at the bottom of the page The next time you invite a worker to this project, the message will be pre-filled in the invitation form. You can update or toggle off the message from the same settings page at any time. #### Tips for writing a default invite message - Include key onboarding information your workers need before they start (for example: first day logistics, who to contact with questions) - Keep in mind that workers will see this message **before** they've completed onboarding - When a default message is enabled for a project, you can still override the default message directly in the invitation to personalize the message ### Travel details When enabled, the *Travel details* setting allows workers on this project to submit travel-related day types on their timecards. Use this setting for any project where workers will travel outside the studio zone — including out-of-town shoots, overnight stays at distant locations, or dedicated travel days. When *Travel details* is turned on for a worker, the following day type options become available on their timecard: - *Nearby location —* Worker is working outside the studio zone (typically beyond the 30-mile zone) but not staying overnight - *Overnight working* — Worker is working at a distant location with an overnight stay - Overnight (idle) — Worker is at a distant location on a non-working day (e.g., a hold day away from home) - Travel — A dedicated travel day to or from a distant location Wrapbook uses these day types to automatically calculate the correct pay, travel time, zone premiums, and per diem allowances based on the worker's agreement. Click the *Travel details* toggle to enable these options for all new workers added to this project. You can also enable or disable travel details for individual workers when [inviting](/v1/docs/how-to-invite-workers-to-a-project) them to a project or [updating their project worker profile](/v1/docs/update-job-details-and-pay-rates). ### Require department assignment - Click the toggle if you want to require workers to be assigned to a specific production [department](/v1/docs/additional-settings#departments) - When you assign workers to departments, you’ll be able to use the *Department* filter on the project’s *People* dashboard to display their information quickly ### Automatically reissue startwork for change forms - If disabled, you can choose whether to reissue startwork when submitting a change form --- ### Include start/close forms with startwork - Choose whether to automatically include start/close forms in startwork for loan-out companies and individual workers If you make any changes to the the information in the project’s *Default settings*, click the **Save changes** button.
