There are two types of projects in activeCollab:
- Active projects are projects that are being worked on at the moment. These projects will appear in the Jump to Project dialog, will be listed in the Active Projects tab of your Dashboard, and Dashboard updates will still be provided for these projects etc.
- Archived projects are projects that are no longer being worked on. They exist in the system, all data is still there, but they will not be displayed on the Dashboard, in the Jump to Project dialog, etc. The only way to access these projects is through the Archive link available at the bottom of Projects page.
activeCollab supports four project statuses:
- Active - As explained above.
- Paused - This status is used for projects that are on hold. Although paused, projects are not marked as completed. They are simply archived to avoid distraction.
- Completed - Projects that have been finished will be in this section. All completed projects will be available in your Archive, marked as completed and archived.
- Canceled - These are Projects that have been created and then, for one reason or another, stopped. They will be marked as completed and archived.
The status of a Project can be changed at any time by selecting Change Status from the Options drop-down that is available on the Project Overview page:
