Projects

Template Project

This specifies the project that should be used as a template for newly constructed projects. See Project Template for more details.

Project Rendering Type

When configuring project properties, a group name can be assigned to each property. Then, when a project is displayed, its properties are shown in these groups according to the group name set on each property. Normally, a project displays its properties with all the property groups visible all at once. However, if a large number of properties and groups are to be created, then it may be better to display those properties in separate tabs, with one tab per group.

Then choose the Project Rendering Type to select the way that the different property groups are displayed. The options to use are:

Setting

Description

Vertical Tabs

Tabbed vertically, useful for a large number of tabs.

Vertical Tabs (sorted by name)

As above but sorted by tab name.

Horizontal Tabs

Tabbed horizontally.

Captions

All properties visible at the same time, arranged by groups. Below is an example of project information displayed in caption format.

Default Project Name

When somebody creates a new project, the new project will initially be copied from the Template Project, but then its status will be changed to Requested, and its name will be changed to whatever is specified here for Default Project Name.

Request Filtering By User Type

If this is set to true, then the project requests page will only show project requests from users with the same user type as the currently logged in user. Otherwise, all project requests will be shown.

Roles That Can Book Any Project

Specify which roles can book using any project.
