Prerequisites
Verify that relevant settings in Company Settings (e.g., Currency, Office Locations, Business Units) are properly configured by your Workspace Administrator.
Overview
Project Information settings allow you to define key details such as project status, phase, location, and more. Some settings, like currency and business units, are linked to company settings, so ensure that your workspace administrator configures them. For guidance on configuring company settings, click here.
Process
1. Accessing Project Information Settings
Select the project from the Project List
In the left-hand project menu, click Project Settings
Select the Project Information tab
Click Edit in the top-right corner to begin updating details
2. Editing Project Information
Project Name
You can only edit the project name if your workspace created the project.
This restriction exists because the project name is a global value shared across all collaborating workspaces. Editing it updates it for everyone, which is why only the originating workspace has permission to change it.
If you’re not the originator but need the name changed, please contact the Support team.
