What is "Snoozing"

When a job is fully completed, you can close it by using the Archive a Job page. Archiving stops further timesheets from being logged and prevents any new invoices from being created.

For multi-department jobs, however, some departments may finish their work while others still need the job to remain active. Snoozing allows you to pause timesheets and invoice accruals for a specific department, while hiding its data from your Projects Dashboard. The remaining active ("unsnoozed") departments stay visible and accessible to the relevant project captains.

It’s worth noting that you can’t snooze all departments on a job. If you try to snooze the last active department, you’ll be prompted to archive the job instead. Snoozing is designed to complement archiving—not replace it—by helping you manage ongoing work while keeping completed areas tidy and out of view.

Snooze a Department on a Job

There are two ways to snooze a department on a job, either on the view project popup, or via Projects Dashboard.

Snooze via View Project

1. Search for the job number using the global search box in the top right corner of any Hiro page.
   
   
   
   
2. Click the "People" tab.

3. The Project Captains section lists everyone in your organisation who is the captain of a specific department. If someone captains multiple departments, you’ll see badges for each department displayed next to their name.

   For each department listed:

   • Check the status, which will be shown as either Active or Snoozed.
   • If the status is Active, click the Snooze link next to it to snooze that department.
   
   

Snooze via Projects Dashboard

1. Navigate to Projects > Projects Dashboard.
   
   
2. If you are the captain of the job/department combination that you wish to snooze, locate the line item in the list of your projects.
   
   Otherwise, if you have the appropriate privileges, click the dropdown menu up the top left to switch to whoever is captain of the job/department that you wish to snooze:
