The Add a Project Type tool is used to create a new Project Type. If your new type is similar to an existing Project Type and you would like to use the existing type as a model for your new type, use the Clone link to initiate the process. If you do use the Clone link, the Add a Project Type form is prefilled with values from the type you cloned, so all you have to do is change the name and edit the details as needed.
Project Types are templates used for projects in the Kavi Status Tracker. Each Project Type has a configured set of data fields, Project States and Activity Types. When a project is added, it is based a Project Type so that the appropriate states, activities and fields are available to collect and track the project.
Back to topProvide a name and description for the Project Type you want to add and select which states and custom fields will be available in projects based on this type. When you are satisfied with your settings, click the Add button.
