Create a project (from scratch or from a template)

A project holds everything about a client's work: tasks, files, team and dates. You can create it with a name only and fill in the rest later, or start from a ready template that already has phases and tasks.

Steps

Quick project

  1. Open Projects from the side menu.
  2. Click New project.
  3. Type the Project name and pick the Client if there is one. If the client is not saved yet, click Add client in the same list.
  4. Click Create project. The project appears in the list right away. Add the team, dates and budget whenever you are ready.

Project from a template

  1. On the Projects page, click the small arrow next to New project, then choose From a template.
  2. Pick the template that fits and click Next.
  3. Type the Project name, then choose the Client and the Execution team. Below them you see the Project structure & phases the template will add.
  4. Click Save. The new project opens with its phases and tasks in place.

Good to know

  • A quick project starts with the status "Planning" and medium priority. You can change both from the project page.
  • To set the type, priority, dates and team from the start, click Advanced setup (full form) inside the New project window.
  • The same arrow also offers With AI: describe the project and it suggests phases and tasks for you to review before saving.
  • At the top of the page you can switch the view: Grid, List view, Board, Timeline.
  • A team member sees the projects they created, manage or belong to. Add your colleagues to the project team so they can see it.
  • When you pick a client for a project, that client sees the project in the client portal once they have portal access.
  • The Free plan allows a limited number of projects. See the plans page for the limits of each plan.
