Roles are set up to show the type of activity that the external people (contacts) will be assisting you with on projects. One or more roles can be assigned to a contact when it is created, or when the role is assigned to the contact within a project the contact record is updated to include the extra role.

When adding contacts to a project, use the role drop-down to limit the number of contacts shown. Roles are also shown within expenses (invoice/bills) to shorten the contact drop-down and can be shown in reports. Sample roles are automatically created when setting up an organization.
