Mark a project as private: When a project is private, only creators and project members can see it. Learn more in Private projects.
Preset tracked times to billable by default: For projects that are created with a client, this setting is automatically active. However, it isn’t for projects without a client. When active, times tracked on this project (or its tasks) are automatically marked as billable. You can still change the status for each tracked time.
Task and project key setting: Show or Hide task and project keys for this project and override the workspace setting or use Workspace Default.
Customize project statuses
Project statuses show which phase your project is in. The color coding is fixed with the four system statuses.
You can define which statuses your project can go through and what they should be called. Click the button + Add to add new ones or adjust existing project statuses.
You can adjust the order via drag & drop.
Learn more in Access and select closed projects.
Customize task statuses (board columns)
Add new ones by clicking the button + Add or adjust existing task statuses. These statuses apply only to the respective project.
You can change the order using drag & drop.
Tip: If you always need the same task statuses in different projects, create a project template with predefined statuses.
Manage Custom fields for tasks
Custom fields are created on the workspace level and activated on the project level.
Users with write permissions on project details can activate the fields needed for the project by clicking the button + Add. Once the field is activated in the project settings, the Custom fields are available to all users in project tasks.
Drag & drop to reorder fields.
By clicking on the "X" of the respective field, you can remove it from this project again.
Turn awork autopilot on or off
In awork autopilot, you can turn the autopilot on or off for the project and adjust the autopilot settings.
Manage integrations (Slack or Teams)
In Integrations, you can link the project to a Slack or Teams channel. Click + Add to add new integrations.
If the integration is successful, you’ll see it here and can remove or edit it (for example, to filter the notifications you see).
Set it up here. Learn more in the Integration library.
Create and manage automations
In Automations, you can create, delete, or change automations for the current project.
Each automation is only valid for the current project, but you can also create them in a project template so you don’t have to rebuild them for each project.
Learn more in Automations in projects.
Create tasks from emails
In Create tasks from emails, you’ll find the project email address used to create tasks via email. You can also choose which list these tasks should end up in.
Learn more in Creating tasks from emails.
