Project Settings Page

Project > New Project

Use the Project Settings page to configure projects. The page displays the following items:

Item	Description
Project Name	Specifies the name of the project as it should appear in the GUI and in reports.
Description	A description of the project. You can enter any text for the description.
Project Owner	Specifies the owner of the project. The selected user account does not have any special privileges; this setting is purely informative.
Active	Check this check box to activate the project. Inactive projects are not visible in your application.
Tags	If you have many projects, project tags can help you filter them, using the Tags column on the Project List page.
Project Template	This list box defines whether a project is based on the Agile project template or not. Choose Agile Project Template to base the project on the template for Agile project-management tools, or <None> to create a simple project. You can only specify this while creating a new project, not while editing an existing project.
Issue Manager Integration	Select one of the following options: No project: No Issue Manager integration is created. Initialize new project: The new project is initialized as an Issue Manager project. When you click Save on the bottom of the page, a dialog box appears, where you can configure all necessary settings for the project (groups, inboxes, products, and so on). Reuse existing project: An existing project is used. Select a project from the list. If the project was not configured as an Issue Manager project before, you have to configure all necessary settings. A dialog box appears, when you click Save. If the project was already configured as an Issue Manager project before, you have to configure the credentials and the status mapping only.
Shared Tests	Select one of the following options: No test sharing: This project neither shares tests with other projects nor consumes tests from other projects. Sharing tests: This project is sharing tests that other projects can consume. Consuming shared tests from: Select a project from which the edited project consumes shared tests.
Groups	The Groups section includes lists of available and assigned groups. Assign the groups as required. Use Ctrl+Click or Shift+Click to select multiple groups. You can also import groups from an LDAP server by clicking Import LDAP Group. For detailed information, see Importing Groups from LDAP Servers. If no user groups exist, you may assign them later after you have created them. You can also configure the group/project assignment on the Group Settings page. Privileges vary based on user roles. For information about user privileges, see User Roles and Permissions.
Location	The Locations section includes lists of available and assigned locations. Assign the locations as required. Use Ctrl+Click or Shift+Click to select multiple locations. If no locations exist, you may assign them later after you have created them. You can also configure the location/project assignment on the Location Settings page. For detailed information, see Managing Locations.
