Enter project details

Only the specification of a project name is mandatory. The other fields are optional. If you add a project image, it can be displayed on the title page of your report.

On this interface, you can assign or remove users already registered on the platform (see „USER“ for detailed information). For a user to be able to contribute to the project, he must be assigned to the project.

1. Assign User: Click the green „+“-icon, to add the desired user to the project.
2. Remove User: Click on the red „x“-icon to remove a user from the project. A user can not be removed from a project if tickets are still assigned to him.
