A project gathers the tasks, discussions, documents and follow-up of a single initiative. It is created in a single window.
Starting the creation
The New project button is available in several places: in the left menu (+ button of the My projects section), on the projects page and in portfolios.
- 1Click New project.
- 2Enter the project title.
- 3Choose a template: blank project, or one of your organisation's templates.
- 4Enter the start date and choose a colour.
- 5Confirm: the project is created and opens.
Starting from a template
A template reproduces the whole structure of a typical project: lists, tasks, subtasks, milestones, Gantt links, views and shared people. Task dates are recalculated from the start date you enter, and all tasks start again with the "To do" status.
Good to know: "featured" templates are chosen by your organisation's administrators. Other templates remain available via More templates.
A blank project: choosing its first view
A blank project starts without a view. A welcome screen offers to choose the first one: Kanban, List, Gantt, Documents… You can add others afterwards.
Frequently asked questions
My project got a number in front of its title, is that normal?
Yes, if your organisation has enabled automatic project numbering: each new project receives an incremented number.
Can I change template after creation?
No, the template is only used at creation. You can, however, freely edit the project afterwards.
