Projects

Instructions for creating and using projects and subprojects to keep your workspace organized.

Updated this week

Navigate to Settings > Projects to view the list of Active or Archived projects.

Use the vertical 3 dot menu in the top right to export the list as a CSV.

Create a Project


To add a new top level project, click the Add Project button and fill out the information in the modal.

Name and Code are required fields.

Click into a project name to navigate to the Project Details screen.

Here you can add, remove, or edit user access for the project by clicking the + Add User button or selecting the box to the left of the user(s)

Workspace Access level always takes priority! If a user has an admin workspace access level, then they will have admin access for ALL projects.

If a user has an operator workspace access level, then they can be granted elevated editor or admin access to specific projects.

Create a Subproject

In the Project Details screen of the top level project you can click the + New Subproject button to add a nested subproject.

The Project Code will automatically have the top level project code as a prefix.

Users and Project Access are inherited from the parent project.

While there can be any number of subprojects, they can only go one level deep. Subprojects can not have further subprojects.

Archiving Projects


To archive a project or subproject, navigate to the corresponding Project Details screen, click the vertical 3 dot menu in the top right corner, and select Archive.

The project or subproject name, code, and/or description can also be edited from this menu.

Archiving a top level parent project will automatically archive the associated subprojects.

Projects and Subprojects can be unarchived using the same menu when navigating to the Project Detail screen from the Archived tab.

An archived subproject can not be unarchived if the top level parent project is archived.

Unarchiving the parent project will automatically unarchive all associated subprojects.

Assigning Projects


Before connecting procedures and parts to projects, please review and understand Project Permission Settings.

When creating or editing a Procedure, Part, Work Order, Test Point, Risk, or Issue, select which project it should be associated with. The next sections will cover how this will help keep your workspace organized.

Project Level Navigation allows you to apply a project filter across the workspace.

Filter Procedures & Runs by Project

Tree View by Project

Organize by project name and use the drop down to see which procedures are assigned to each project.

TIP
Turn on Auto Generate Procedure ID for optimal organization by project name.

Reassign Projects for Procedures

A procedure can be assigned to a new project in one of two ways:

  1. Procedure Settings

    Navigate to draft of a procedure and click the Settings Icon. Change the project in the Project selector.

    NOTE: This requires a review and release process to take effect.

  2. Procedure Library

    Select one or more procedures in the procedure library list. Once selected a Change Project icon will appear at the top of the list. Click Change Project to change the project for all selected items.

    NOTE: This does NOT require a review and release process

Project Schedule View

Projects now include a Schedule tab that provides a centralized, timeline-based view of all work orders and related activities within the project.

This view brings together work order schedules, tasks, dependencies, assignments, and resource considerations into a single, interactive planning workspace. It allows teams to understand how work is sequenced across the project and make adjustments without navigating into individual work orders.

Project schedules update in real time as work orders progress, helping teams plan confidently, identify bottlenecks early, and keep execution on track.

What You Can See in the Project Schedule

The project schedule consolidates all scheduling data that influences start and end dates, including:

  • Work orders and their associated tasks

  • Task durations and sequencing

  • Dependencies across work order events

  • User assignments and availability

  • Required tools, locations, and materials

  • Linked work orders within the same project

This provides a single source of truth for how work is planned and interconnected across the project.

Interactive Timeline Controls

The project schedule is fully interactive, allowing you to make updates directly on the timeline:

  • Drag tasks to adjust planned start dates or durations. Changes sync instantly with the underlying work order.

  • Create dependencies by dragging from one task to another. Dependencies are preserved automatically as tasks shift.

  • Double-click a task to edit assignees, dates, duration, or notes without leaving the schedule view.

These controls make it easy to explore different scheduling scenarios and keep work aligned as priorities change.

Conflict Awareness

The schedule highlights potential conflicts directly on the timeline, such as:

  • Overlapping user assignments

  • Tasks scheduled before their dependencies are complete

Surfacing these issues early allows teams to resolve conflicts before execution begins, reducing delays and rework.

Note: Project scheduling capabilities are currently available for Builds. We plan to bring these capabilities to Operations once parity with key scheduling features is achieved.

Search and Navigation

You can now quickly locate items within the schedule using the search bar at the top of the view. This allows you to find specific procedures, work orders, purchase orders, or events without manually scanning the timeline.

The schedule also includes a timezone selector, ensuring that all displayed events align with your working context. This is especially useful for distributed teams operating across multiple regions.

Date Range Filtering

In addition to search, you can refine what is displayed by adjusting the visible date range. This makes it easy to focus on a specific window of time, whether you are planning upcoming work or reviewing historical activity.

Creating Events

A new Create Event action allows you to add schedule items directly from the Project Schedule view. These events can be used for planning work that may not yet exist as a formal object in the system.

When creating an event, you can define:

  • A name and time range

  • Assigned users

  • Event type (such as milestone or general event)

This enables lightweight planning without requiring a full work order or procedure upfront.

Repeating Events

Events can be configured to repeat on a defined cadence. This is useful for recurring activities such as routine checks, maintenance, or standing operational tasks.

Repeating events appear across the schedule automatically based on the configured frequency, helping ensure consistency without manual duplication.

Milestones

Milestones can be created to represent key checkpoints within a project. Unlike duration-based events, milestones act as point-in-time markers to highlight important deadlines or achievements.

These provide clear visual anchors within the schedule to track progress against major goals.

Procedure-Linked Events

Events can also be tied directly to procedures. This allows scheduled work to maintain a direct connection to execution, ensuring that what is planned can immediately transition into actionable work.

Linking procedures to events improves traceability between planning and operations, and helps teams stay aligned on what needs to be completed and when.

Expanded Schedule Visibility

The schedule continues to support multiple object types in a single timeline view, including:

  • Work Orders

  • Procedures

  • Purchase Orders

  • Custom events

These are displayed together in a unified timeline, allowing you to understand dependencies and overlaps across different types of work.

Activity Log

A full activity log is now available within the Project view, capturing every change made to the project and its schedule.

This includes updates such as:

  • Event creation and edits

  • Assignment changes

  • Status updates

  • Archiving and unarchiving actions

The activity log provides a clear audit trail, making it easy to review what changed, when it changed, and who made the update.
