Account & settings
Step-by-step guides for account & settings in Monument.
- 1Set up your organisation VideoSet the firm-wide region, currency, financial year, branding and project defaults that every project, invoice and report inherits.
- 2Customise Monument to your firm VideoMake Monument speak your firm's language: custom fields, task statuses and types, and the numbering for project codes and documents, with a video that shows all four.
- 3Custom fields VideoRecord information Monument doesn't track by default: add your own fields to projects, tasks, contacts and resources, like a council reference or a contract type.
- 4Import your data VideoComing from another tracker? Import a spreadsheet of historic time: upload the export, map the columns, match names to records, skip anyone who has left, and append it to the calendar.
- 5Task statuses VideoSet the stages your tasks move through: name them, colour them, order them by dragging, and choose the one new tasks start at.
- 6Security and API keys VideoCreate and revoke the API keys integrations use, see where account security is heading, and connect your accounting system.
- 7Task types VideoClassify what a task is, not where it's up to: define your own task types with icons and colours, reorder them, and set a default.
- 8Codes and numbering VideoStop typing reference numbers by hand: set the patterns that auto-generate project codes and invoice, quote and purchase order numbers.
- 9Run multiple offices in one workspace VideoSplit project ownership across studios without splitting the firm into separate workspaces. Create offices, assign projects to them, and know which office a new project lands in by default.
- 10Give each office its own billing identity VideoLet an office issue invoices, quotes and purchase orders under its own legal name, ABN and logo, falling back to the organisation wherever a detail is left blank.
- 11Give your people a home officeSet a home office on each person so new projects default sensibly, and reports can split your people, time and allocations by studio.
