Default Project Settings in olooa

To streamline your workflow, olooa allows you to set up Default Project Settings that can be applied to every new project you create. This helps ensure consistency across all projects, saving time by automatically applying your preferred configurations to each one.

In this article, we’ll explain what default project settings are, how to configure them, and why they are beneficial for efficient project management.

How to Access Default Project Settings

  1. Navigate to Project Settings

    • On the main dashboard, click on the Gear Icon next to the new project button.

  2. Configure Your Settings

    • In the Default Project Settings, you can adjust several options, including:

      • Project Stages: Set up your preferred stages (e.g., planning, script, thumbnail, video) that will automatically be included in all future projects.

      • Team Members: Pre-assign team members or roles that will automatically be added to new projects.

      • Templates: Choose content templates to standardize the structure of your projects.

      • Brand Assets: Set default brand assets that you and your team members use for most every project.

  3. Save Your Settings

    • Once you’ve configured your preferences, click Save to apply these settings to all future projects.

Why Default Project Settings Are Useful

  1. Time-Saving Automation
    Setting up default project settings ensures that every new project is automatically configured according to your preferences, eliminating the need to manually set up each project from scratch.

  2. Consistency Across Projects
    By applying the same structure and settings to every project, you maintain a consistent workflow, which is especially helpful when managing multiple projects or working with different team members.

  3. Streamlined Collaboration
    With default team members or roles assigned to each new project, you ensure that the right people are automatically involved in the workflow from the start. This keeps everyone aligned without having to manually add them to each project.

  4. Improved Efficiency
    Default project stages and templates help standardize your process, allowing you to focus more on content creation rather than administrative setup tasks.

Best Practices for Default Project Settings

  • Set Common Stages: Ensure that the stages you set as default align with your general content creation process. This might include common stages like brainstorming, scriptwriting, editing, and review.

  • Pre-Assign Key Roles: If certain team members are always involved in your projects (like a designer or editor), assign them as default team members to simplify project setup.

  • Adjust as Needed: You can always modify default project settings as your workflow evolves. Keep them up to date to reflect any changes in how you manage projects.
