What is all this "default" business?

Defaults in Intervals are used for types of work, modules, task status, and people types. Defaults are used to:

1. speed up the time needed to create new projects
2. keep your data consistent
3. give you control

How are defaults used?
Default work types and modules are used the most. They get 'pulled in' when a new project is created. You have control over the defaults at the project level. Say for example that a certain project doesn't have a certain work type or the rates are different for that project. You can edit the work types at the project level and maintain consistency for reporting.
