After creating a project, a Backlog board is automatically generated with the name of the project. For further information, see The Backlog board of the project.

This section specifies all the possibilities and options that the project settings offer. Have in mind that, only the creators of the project have the necessary permissions to configure it.

To configure one project:

• Click on the Project icon. This will show the list of all the projects created by you, as well as the projects shared with you in which you participate.
• Use the name of each column to sort the projects list in ascending or descending order.
• To archive one project, click on the archive icon.
  

  At a later point, it will be possible to restore archived projects. For this purpose, click on the View archived projects option: it allows access to the list of archived projects. Select the ↻ Unarchive project button to restore it. The unarchive option is only available for a limited period of time. On the contrary, if you click on the - DELETE button, the project will be permanently deleted. This option is irreversible.

• To edit one of your projects, click on the edit icon of the project to be modified. From here you can modify:
  • General settings
  • E-mail accounts
  • Activities

If you skipped any optional steps during the creation of the project, or you have decided to change some options like the background, do not suffer, simply edit the project.

Besides, you can define a customer for this project: this customer must have been previously defined in the Customers screen. For further information, see the Customers section.

• Modify name, description or customer: click on the edit icon of the option to be modified.
• Modify background: move through the background gallery and click on the desired one for this project.
• Archive a project: when a project has finished or is no longer operative, it can be archived by clicking on the ▊ Archive project button. This leads to offload it from primary access.
  

  At a later point it will be possible to restore archived projects. For this purpose, you have only to access the previous Project sheet. Click on the View archived projects option: it allows access to the list of archived projects. Select the ↻ Unarchive project button to restore it. The unarchive option is only available for a limited period of time. On the contrary, if you click on the - DELETE button, the project will be permanently deleted. This option is irreversible.

Receive e-mail messages for your project: one or more e-mail accounts can be defined in order to receive messages related to this project.

From any email address, it is possible to send an email with or without attachments. This message will directly become a card, and it will be displayed in the next few minutes after the email was sent in the selected list of that project.

• Click on the Add e-mail button to add a new e-mail account.
• Click on the edit icon of the e-mail account to be modified.
• Click on the delete icon of the e-mail account to be erased.

 

The list of all the e-mail accounts of all the existing projects within Axional Projects can be consulted on the Mail list screen.

This lists only displays the address sufix of the project, so remember to add the Axional Projects account created by the administrator. In this example:

• Axional Projects account: axional.projects.demo@gmail.com
• Address sufix: ak
• email address: axional.projects.demo+ak@gmail.com

 

When you send a message to an e-mail address of a project to which you do not belong, you can follow the evolution of that message through the My tickets screen, in the form of a card.

This screen shows by default the Non completed cards from messages, but you can also display the Completed ones by selecting this option on the drop-down menu.

 

View unassigned incoming issues and take actions to redirect to the corresponding board.

Projects can define their own activities. These activities can be later assigned to cards or to boards as a way to classify them. For instance, for one project, we can define that one board is for support, another for production, etc. This way we know which activity is performed on each board or card. When an activity is assigned to a board, no other activities can be assigned to the cards of that board.

• Click on the Add activity button to define a new activity.
• Click on the edit icon of the activity to be modified.
  • Uncheck the Status indicator to change one activity from Active to Closed.
• Click on the delete icon of activity to be erased.

Assign activities to a board is not mandatory. In those cases, cards can assign their own activity to classify them.
