- 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.

- **Project Manager\***. Select the person who is responsible for creating and editing the project plan.

- **Project Supervisor**. Select an employee who oversees the project progress, can edit the general information on the project page, and has full access to the [project files](project-files.md).

- **Start date\***.** **Enter the start date of the project.

- **Completion date\***. Enter the completion date.

- **Description**. Enter a brief description of the project.

- **Use business calendar**\*. Enable this option to use information from the [business calendar](360004890291.md) 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](project-access-and-roles.md#roles).

Click **Save**.

If you created a project of a specific type:

- The project appears on the **Project register** page and in the corresponding app under the **Project Types** separator.

- The plan of the new project is copied from the project type template. The dates of the tasks in the plan are automatically shifted according to the project start date and the output time intervals between tasks.

The new project will be assigned the **Draft** status.

To start working on the project, click on its name in the list. The [project page](project-card.md) will open.
