Sub-projects and the hierarchy

A project can sit under another. A large exhibition might have one sub-project for the preparatory work, one for the catalogue and one for the hanging. The hierarchy is there to keep things tidy — a sub-project has its own journal, artworks and expenses.

The hierarchy

Click Projects in the menu, then Hierarchy. Here you see all projects as a tree. Sub-projects are indented under their parent, and the parent shows how many sub-projects it has.

• Click the arrow next to a project to collapse or expand its sub-projects.
• Completed projects carry the Completed label.
• Archived projects are hidden. Click Show archived to see them — the number on the button is how many there are.

The list under Projects shows only the top-level projects. You find the sub-projects here.

Create a sub-project

1. Click Add sub-project next to the project it should sit under.
2. Write a title.
3. Click Save. The sub-project now sits under its parent.

Set the description, colour and deadline afterwards by opening the sub-project and clicking Edit.

Move a project

1. Click Move next to the project you want to move.
2. Choose the new parent under Move to. Choose None — top level to make it a project of its own again.
3. Click Move.

Its sub-projects move with it. A project cannot be moved under itself or under one of its own sub-projects.

You cannot drag projects around with the mouse — moving is done with Move.

Note

A sub-project does not inherit permissions from its parent. If you share a project with a guest, the guest gets access to that project only — not to its sub-projects.
