2. Your first project

A project is one piece of work with a goal, such as a launch or a client job. Everything else (lists, tasks, views, docs) lives inside a project.

Start from Projects in the left bar, then select New project. On Home, Create a project does the same.

You have three ways to begin.

Start blank

1. In the New project window, leave Blank chosen. It gives you three statuses, To Do, In Progress and Done, and nothing else.
2. Type a Project name of at least 3 characters.
3. A short Key fills in from the name. It must not match another project's key.
4. Choose Visibility: everyone in your workspace, or Only people I add.
5. Choose a Source. The screen needs one before it lets you go on.
6. Select Create project.

Start from a template or the sample

• Pick a template in the left column of the same window. Each shows its statuses and how many sample tasks it brings.
• If you kept the sample project on in step 1, you already have Welcome to AlianHub. It has a SAMPLE badge. Read it, then remove it when you are done with Remove sample data.
• A template with sample tasks has a tick box to include them.

Tell your AI what you need

• In the New project window, Create from a description asks you to describe the project. AI drafts the lists and tasks for you to review. You see this option only when AI is switched on for you.
• If you connected an outside AI app (see Connect your AI app), say "Set up my project". It asks a few questions and shows a plan. Nothing is made until you say yes.

What you see after

A new blank project opens on the List view and says "This project has no tasks yet".
