You can add a new project in the following ways:
- If you are not using different project types, go to the Project register page and click +Project. The project creation form will open.

- On the Project register page. To do this, click the +Project button and then select the project type.
- In the app with a project type under the Project Types separator. To do this, click the +Project button.
Fill out the form that appears.

- Use the business calendar*. Enable this option to use information from the business calendar in the project plan and when calculating the duration of tasks. If the end date in the task falls on a weekend, it will be shifted to the first working day after the weekend. Also, weekends will not be taken into account when calculating the task duration. Please note that this option can be enabled only when creating a project.
Only one user can be assigned to the roles of Project Manager and Project Supervisor. These roles allow users to perform certain actions with the project. You can also specify Project Participants and Employees with permissions to edit the project plan. To learn more about access settings, see Set up access permissions and roles in Projects.
