Project Settings in Easy8
Introduction
This reference covers the project settings in Easy8, including both global settings that affect all projects and individual project configurations. Understanding these settings helps administrators and project managers optimize workflows and ensure consistent project management across teams.
Definition of Project Settings
Project settings in Easy8 determine the structure, permissions, and available functionalities of a project. These settings are influenced by both global system configurations and local project-specific adjustments.
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| Project Templates | Boolean | Determines if projects can be created from predefined templates. | true |
| Default Modules | List | Defines which modules (Tasks, Finance, Gantt, etc.) are enabled by default. | Tasks, Gantt |
| Time Tracking | Boolean | Enables or disables time tracking for projects. | true |
| Issue Priorities | List | Defines the priority levels available for project tasks. | Low, Normal, High |
| Project Public Visibility | Boolean | Controls whether projects can be publicly accessible. | false |
Usage Notes
- Changing global settings applies to all new projects but does not affect existing ones.
- Project templates allow for quick setup with predefined configurations.
- Modules can be enabled or disabled at both the global and project levels.
Examples
Example 1: Setting Up a New Project with Custom Modules
Administrators can configure the default modules for all new projects by adjusting global settings. For example, enabling "Finance" and "Budgeting" will automatically activate them for newly created projects.
Example 2: Enforcing Public vs. Private Projects
By default, all projects are private. However, administrators can enable "Project Public Visibility" in global settings to allow public project creation.
