You can switch the layout **(1)**, see the project\`s access type **(2)**. {% hint style="info" %} You can see all the **Public** projects and those of **Private** ones where you take part. You can share projects of **Private** access type with other organizations. {% endhint %} You can see how many task on each main stage in a project **(3)**. Change the project's position in the list **(4)**. From here you can archive the project or go to its settings **(5)**. Also, here all projects are created **(6)**. ## Creating a Project Click **CREATE PROJECT** in the [**All Projects tab**](/project-manager/main-features/projects.md#all-projects-tab). ![](https://3991389238-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-Lu2S-fOHhurmEid5a2i%2F-MSSnjLKi2vXqTErRBt3%2F-MSSowBOz9ncqDJYjs8i%2Fnew.png?alt=media\&token=a9810d75-a05f-44b0-83e8-50b3a4e06156) Type the **Project name (1)** and **Product Key (2)**. The Product Key is the project\`s ID, it must consist of three letters (no numbers). Write the **Description (3)** of the project. A good description helps new participants to get aware of the project's purpose and general schedule. There are two options of the **PROJECT ACCESS (4)**: * **Public** - the project will be available for everyone in the organization and everyone will be able to create and edit tasks. * **Private** - only invited persons will have the access to the project and tasks changing. Only private projects are permitted to be shared with other organizations. If you want a separate board for the project's issues - enable it **(5)**. Otherwise, the tasks of the **issue** type will be displayed on the main board of the project. When you hit **CREATE** the new project will appear in the **All Projects** list. ## A Project To get into the project click on it. The project page: ![](https://3991389238-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-Lu2S-fOHhurmEid5a2i%2F-MSTT_nYuJ6Rd26mbc_e%2F-MSTTeshnh4ZKUJnMTtb%2Fproj%20in.png?alt=media\&token=df1b0e97-5542-4695-af06-1316eea85855) The basic page of a project is **Project Dashboard (1)**. Here you can add a dashboard app (see the [**Dashboard**](/project-manager/main-features/dasboard.md) chapter). In the **Main Board** tab **(2)** you can see all the tasks in the project, add, update, assign, and so on. **Issue Board (3)** is created when you enable this option on the project creation. Tasks of **Issue** type will get here. In the **Backlog** tab **(4)** all the tasks in the backlog column are listed by types. All the attachments to the project\`s tasks listed in the **Media** tab **(5)** - documents, pictures, videos, and everything else. In the project **Settings** tab **(6)** you can set up and change the properties of the project. ### Main Board By default, the main board is a kanban board with four columns: **BACKLOG**, **TO DO**, **IN PROGRESS**, and **DONE**. ![](https://3991389238-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-Lu2S-fOHhurmEid5a2i%2F-MSXZOaI5ijaRt59DnOe%2F-MSXquG2pgdVHnLzb-2j%2Fmain.png?alt=media\&token=a5c8f7fe-ce0b-4800-ae55-97598c8adaf2) A user can create a task in any column **(1)**, search or filter tasks by different properties **(2)**, add a column **(3)**, and change the column's settings **(4)**. Drag and drop tasks to move them. Click tasks to open and set up. #### Columns When adding a column pay attention to the State: all the columns you add will belong to **Backlog**, **To do**, or **In progress** state. This is important for managing the tasks on the [**Epic**](/project-manager/main-features/epics.md) board. ![](https://3991389238-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-Lu2S-fOHhurmEid5a2i%2F-MTpwIxg_as46syZHfDm%2F-MTpxjlmTHAL6BFvwrZi%2Fnew%20column.gif?alt=media\&token=3732dc96-c67d-43a3-ad2a-9bb9f4e59e07) ### Settings Set up and update the project settings: ![](https://3991389238-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-Lu2S-fOHhurmEid5a2i%2F-MSX5qYs_dlyQ-wNoJ2U%2F-MSXCLlunDytAcJTt3bK%2Fsettings.gif?alt=media\&token=097559e7-0a6a-43d0-a2c3-b1678aa0755f) * **Details**: change the project's name, picture, description, add labels, archive the project. * **Members**: invite new members, change their access level, remove. Also in the **Shared** tab, you can see the members from other organizations if the project was shared (see **Shared Organizations**). * **Access**: change the access type of the project (see the types in [**Creating a Project**](/project-manager/main-features/projects.md#creating-a-project)). * **Workspaces**: the basic tool for project management is the Kanban board (see [**Main Board**](/project-manager/main-features/projects.md#main-board)), but you can change it here. * **Shared Organizations**: invite organizations to the project. You can invite only registered on Aitheon organizations. Members of these organizations who have access to the project you can find in the **Members** page, the **Shared** tab. ## Settings Don't be confused: there are **Settings** in each project (see above) and entire **Project Manager** service **Settings**. The **Settings** page allows you to set up your notification preferences. ![](https://3991389238-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-Lu2S-fOHhurmEid5a2i%2F-MTv0Qck9DbN6zT-qlVr%2F-MTv5rxhYxVhRtGFhU-F%2Fswttings.png?alt=media\&token=13440d80-ee1d-4def-a140-1c0ff1cb858e)
