6.8. Project

The following table shows the fields of an invoice project. A project cannot be accessed directly. You have to access it from the list of projects of an invoice (invoice.projects).

Usually, you don't need to work with invoice projects. They are useful only if the invoice is for multiple projects.

2. Contents

An invoice project contains billable items which can be both service items and expense items. The following fields let you access them.

project.items 1.0, 2.0

A list with all the items of an invoice project. To access an item from the list use the following Freemarker code: 

<#list project.items as item>

Since version 2.0, this placeholder has a new meaning. The list contains all items, including expenses. Previously, it contained only services.

Instead of accessing the entire list of items, one can access the services and the expenses separately using the project.services and the project.expenses placeholders.
