## Managing projects

If you are using the Desktop Client, you can manage projects and folders directly from the main window of the program. The relevant commands are available if you activate the project tree by clicking on it. In case of the Web Client, select the Manage Projects command, located above the projects tree, to manage projects and folders.

If you are a system administrator, you can manage all projects and create new projects. If you are the administrator of a project, you can manage its members and folders.

To add a new project, select Add Project, enter the name and optional description of the project and click OK.

Figure 5.13. Creating a project

After creating a new project, no regular user has access to it. For more information on granting users access to projects, see the section called “Project members”.

The system administrator can change the name of any project. To do this, select the project and click Rename Project. You can also delete projects using the Delete Project command. If the project is not empty, a warning will be displayed.

### Warning

When deleting projects or folders, pay special attention whether you are not mistakenly deleting the wrong data. All issues contained in them are permanently and irreversibly removed from the system, and it's not possible to restore them.

The project description is displayed when the project is selected in the projects tree in both the Web Client and the Desktop Client. It can be used to provide information about the project, including links to important issues or external resources. Both system administrators and project administrators can add a description to an existing project, edit the description and delete it. Project descriptions use the same format as issue descriptions and comments; see the section called “Comments and descriptions” for more information.

To add a new folder, select a project and click Add Folder.

Figure 5.14. Creating a folder

When creating a folder, you have to give it a name that is unique within the project and select the type of issues that will be stored in it. After creating a folder its type can't be changed. However, you can rename a folder using the Rename Folder command and delete it using the Delete Folder command.

You can also move a folder from one project to another. In order to do this, you must be the administrator of the system or of both projects — the source one and destination one. Select the folder you want to move and click Move Folder. Then select the destination project from the list and click OK.
