Monograph now allows you to customize the names associated with phases to be more explicit about the work being done both to your team and to your client without losing the aggregations associated with the phase type. With this feature, as an example, you can maintain a generic "Add services" phase type but customize the name(s) on your projects to align them to the specific pieces of work they represent.
Here's how it works
When creating or editing a project's phases, by default the phase name will match the pre-existing phase type name, but you can edit the "Phase name" field to customize what is seen across Monograph for that phase.

The phase name will show anywhere the phase is displayed or filtered on, and the phase type will solely be used when aggregating phase data across multiple phases, such as in the "Group by" function on the Time log report. image

Custom phases are still able to be created by checking the highlighted box when adding a phase type on a project. With this release, the new expectation is that an existing phase type can be used in lieu of a one-off custom phase in most cases.
