Merlin Project: Differentiate Content

Part 1: Tags

You plan your projects with Merlin Project? Then you already know how to convert your planning into a project structure with outline and Gantt. Your project will get a meaningful and readable structure by using descriptive titles for the tasks, organizing tasks into groups, using styles.

Settle subscriptions via the Apple App Store as a company

What has long been standard practice on iPhones and iPads for some time increasingly applies now to Mac software too: buying software from Apple's App Store and subscribing to it.

The benefits are obvious:

• Software for your Mac, iPhone or iPad can be found in one central place.
• The App Store is pre-installed and can be used without much effort.
• Software is checked by Apple and only then released for the App Store. Malware can thus be excluded.
• Software updates are made available for download centrally via the App Store and, depending on your settings, are loaded automatically.
• Apple takes care of the protection of your personal data and does not pass it on to third parties - not even to the software developers.
• You have central access to all App Store purchases in the purchase history.
• Your billing information is linked to your personal Apple ID, so you don't have to re-enter your data and payment information for each purchase.

However, this last point in particular presents many companies with a challenge in terms of accounting for expenses. The link to a personal Apple ID means that purchase receipts are not issued to the company, but to the user.
