The **Projects** feature is used to **group related tasks together** under a single named initiative — for example, *Lobby Renovation*, *Roof Replacement*, or *Annual Audit*. Once a Project exists, any new [[Tasks Overview|Task]] can be assigned to it, making it easy to see all the work belonging to that initiative in one place.
---
Projects let administrators organize work that spans many tasks. Instead of hunting through the full task list, you click a Project to see every task assigned to it. From the Projects area you can:
- View the list of existing Projects.
- Open a Project to see all of its assigned tasks.
- Create a new Project so it becomes available when [[Creating Tasks|creating]] or [[Edit a Task|editing]] tasks.

## Viewing a Project's Tasks
1. Go to **Administration**.
2. Click on **Projects**.

## Available Actions

## Common Use Cases
- **Lobby Renovation** — Group every task related to the lobby refresh: design approval, RFPs, contractor selection, scheduling, inspections.

- **Annual Audit** — Group document collection tasks, auditor coordination, and follow-up items.
- **Onboarding a new property** — Group all setup tasks under a single Project for easy progress tracking.

## Additional Notes
- A task does **not** need to belong to a Project — Project assignment is optional.
- Project assignments can be **changed** or **removed** later by [[Edit a Task|Editing a Task]]
- For a broader picture of how tasks, categories, and assignments work together, see [[Tasks Overview]] and [[Task Categories Overview]].
