Using Project Templates

Creating a project is simple with Project Templates.

  1. Give your project a name.

  2. Select a project type – Choose between continuous or scoped projects. See our documentation to understand their differences.

  3. Select a due date.

  4. Choose a project template.

    1. If you selected a scoped project type and you don’t see a template it means you don’t have templates eligible to create a scoped project. See our eligibility requirements.

    2. When you choose a project template, you will be shown a preview of the access, settings, and resources that will be added to your new project.

    3. Review those configurations to make sure you have selected the correct project template.

  5. If everything looks correct, select Create New Project.
