Creating a New Project

To create a new project, simply click the New Project button.

Each project needs to have a name and a Project Leader. The Project Leader is the person responsible for all actions in the project and will automatically receive notifications about each and every new event that takes place. This person will also be assigned full permissions for the project, regardless of their current Project Role settings.

When creating a new project, you can either make one from scratch or by using a Project Template:

Any project can be used as a template for a new one. Just select it from the Project Template drop-down list when creating a new project, and activeCollab will copy all the Milestones, Tickets and Tasks from the template to the new project. activeCollab will even alter due dates of the tasks to reflect the differences between start dates of the template and new project if these dates are set.

Once you click the Submit button the new project will be created, and youʼll be redirected to the People tab of your project where you'll be able to add everyone else who will be involved.
