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.

  • You can only edit the project name if your workspace created the project.
