Manage project information

Edit project information

To edit your project information in OpenProject select a project from the Select a project drop-down menu. Then navigate to Project settings → Information in the project menu on the left.

Project settings are grouped into three sections:

  1. Basic details. Here you can edit:

    • Project name. The name will be displayed in the project list.
    • Add a project description.
  2. Project status. Here you can:

    • Set a project status. The project status can be displayed in the project overview. If you want to set additional or different status options you can create and use a project custom field.
    • Add a project status description. The status description will be shown on the project overview page.
  3. Project relations, where you can select the parent project.

Save your changes by clicking the Update button at the bottom of each respective section:

project-information

Note

After 16.0 release, project attributes can be edited directly on the project overview page.

Further, in the top right corner you can add a subproject and edit the project identifier. This is the part of the project name shown in the URL, e.g. /demo-project.

Add a subproject or change a project identifier under project settings in OpenProject

If you click the three dot icon, you will see a dropdown menu with the following options:
