9 Best Practices

As with every update, we are providing ClearTrial recommended best practices to ensure that you are working effectively with your usage and budgeting operations.

  • Lock your plans when you are satisfied with your final operational budget forecast and to prevent assumption values from being changed.

    Locking a plan freezes its calculated values for expected hours effort, costs, timelines, and assumptions.

  • Freeze billing rates to ensure existing rates are preserved in plans when you are satisfied with your operational budget forecast.

  • Upgrade plans and templates by creating a copy of the plan or template and upgrading the copied record in order to compare the upgraded plan or template to the prior cost model version.
