A step-by-step guide to creating new projects.
Creating a Project
Creating a new project is straightforward. This guide will walk you through the process of setting up a project using the creation form.
Starting a New Project
- Navigate to the Projects page.

The Create Project Form
When you click "Create Project," a form will appear on the side of the screen. You'll need to fill in the following details:
1. Select a Template
The first step is to choose a Project Template. Templates are pre-configured setups that determine which fields and settings your project will have.
- Select the appropriate template from the dropdown menu (e.g., "Standard Installation", "Maintenance Visit").
- Note: The available fields in the form may change depending on the template you select.
2. Client and Site Information
Next, identify who the project is for:
- Client Name: Enter the name of the client.
- Site Name: Enter the specific site or location name.
3. Project Details
Depending on the template selected, you may see additional fields to configure:
- Status: Set the initial status of the project (e.g., DRAFT).
- What3Words: Enter the 3-word location identifier if applicable.
- Scopes:
- Client Scope: Describe the scope of work agreed upon with the client.
- Delivery Scope: Describe the specific deliverables for the team.
- Dates:
- Start Date: When the project work is scheduled to begin.
- End Date: When the project is expected to be completed.
Finalizing Creation
Once you have filled in all the required information:
- Review your entries to ensure accuracy.
- Click the Create Project button at the bottom of the form.
You will be redirected to the new project's dashboard, where you can start adding worksheets and managing tasks.
