Material costs in project budget & overview changes

With this update, we're bringing a more comprehensive dynamic budget overview into Hive at a project level. Now, users will be able to add not only staff hours, but also other discretionary funds such as travel and consultant costs into the project budget.

To access and add material costs to the project budget, visit your project overview page. You also may notice that we've streamlined the look of the overview page to keep updates in a more digestible format, and Billable hours budget will now be accessible under "Files"

From there, you can add other costs with the "+" line, where you'll be prompted to add in the cost amount and the designation (i.e. "Travel," $1,000).

Once you've added a material cost, they will also be imported into timesheet reporting in a separate column for visibility. Happy Hive-ing!

Thank you to Alexandra from Women's World Banking for requesting this feature.
