Projects¶
Projects are a collection of tickets, tasks, etc all relating to one project. By organising all tickets and any documents related into one project it makes things a whole lot easier when you are dealing with multiple projects.
Creating a New Project¶
To create a new project navigate to the project view page and click on 'New Project'.
This will take you to the project creation screen where you can enter all the required details.
- Name - The project name.
