⚠️ Attention: If you cannot see the 'New project' button, you do not have the right to create projects in the BIMcollab space. Contact your space administrator to create the project or adjust your rights if necessary.

When creating a new project, choose a name to identify the project. If needed, you can use an existing project as a template and copy the team members and all project properties.

Once the project has been created, you can add additional information like the start and end date, and the project description. You can find the project's settings in the 'General' tab of the project's 'Settings' page.

📝 Note: Project codes are mandatory for all projects. A code will be generated automatically using the first three letters of the project name.

It is always possible to edit this later.

In a BIMcollab space, you have several options to define the settings of the project.

  1. Set a Project owner, who is the default user to whom issues will be assigned if no other user is chosen

  2. Define the mandatory fields

  3. Choose to activate 'Only allow team members to assign issues to members of their own user groups'

  4. Define whether the approval workflow, visibility, and custom fields are active.
    For more information about these features, consult the article Enable advanced settings for issue management.

⚠️ Attention: These settings are not all available on all plans. To check if it’s included in your subscription, review the [plan comparison list] or contact your admin. If the setting isn’t available, you may need to upgrade your plan.
